Madagascar supports six endemic bird families and over 100 endemic bird species, making the “eighth continent” a magnet for birders and naturalists from around the world. Birds of Madagascar covers every bird species ever recorded on the island and features previously unpublished photos that depict all the distinctive plumages. The text is written in an authoritative yet accessible style, and the detailed distribution maps are the most up-to-date available.
For some difficult-to-identify species-groups, the book includes comparative plates illustrating many new and previously unpublished identification features. Subspecies, potential future splits, and other taxonomic issues are also addressed.
The most comprehensive single-volume guide to the island’s birds, featuring every species ever recorded: the 266 residents and regular migrants, 39 recorded vagrants, and 16 potential vagrants
Features more than 1,300 stunning colour photographs and accessibly presents key information for quick field identification
Accounts include all essential information, including size, colouration, distribution, behaviour, vocalizations, favoured habitats, and key sites for observation
Gives a thorough overview of Madagascar’s habitats and birding spots
The first field guide to include Malagasy as well as French names
Callan Cohen has been birding in Madagascar since 1999, and recently discovered the song of the mysterious Collared Nightjar that was long believed to be silent. He has led more than 150 tours and expeditions to 23 African countries, including Madagascar, for Birding Africa, a bird tour company he founded. He is also a research associate at the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology and coauthor of the Southern African Birdfinder. Ken Behrens lived in Madagascar for over a decade, spending endless time in the field on his own and guiding many tours for Tropical Birding. He is the coauthor of many books, including Wildlife of Madagascar, Habitats of the World, and Habitats of Africa (all Princeton WILDGuides). He is the cohost of the popular podcast Naturally Adventurous.
