Produktbeschreibung

Volume II of a comprehensive field guide dealing exclusively with the birds of Northern South America.

It covers all the species, including vagrants, found in Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. The more than 2,300 species described in Volume I, Birds of Northern South America: An Identification Guide: Species Accounts, are here accurately depicted in a total of nearly 6,400 images, illustrating every distinct plumage
of every species and subspecies and highlighting key identification features. Concise caption text appears on the plates and distribution maps appear opposite the plates.

This book 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.
