Birds of Northern South America, Volume 1: Species Accounts An Identification Guide

About this book

Please note: Volume 1 is the text volume, Volume 2 contains all the plates.

In Birds of Northern South America, 2308 species are described in depth in the text. Clear and authoritative species accounts detail geographical variation, identification, status, habitat, voice and taxonomy.

This is the first comprehensive identification guide dealing exclusively with the birds of this region. Both volumes cover all the species, including vagrants, found in Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. These authoritative volumes will not only be an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this region, which is of such importance to both the indigenous species and those which pass through on migration.

Includes a discography of South America bird voices.
