Infos

A compact yet comprehensive guide to the birds of the West Indies.The islands of the Caribbean feature among their number some of the great destinations in world birding, including a host of special endemics. The islands are the haunt of scarce seabirds, dazzling hummingbirds, macaws and amazons, and in the todies and spindalises there are even some endemic families, while a wide suite of birds notably warblers either winter or pass through en route to North American breeding grounds. This compact guide is the perfect accompaniment to any birdwatching break in the region. Stunningly illustrated throughout, the book features detailed accounts of more than 600 species across more than 100 plates, with facing text describing field marks, range, status, voice and habitat. Accurate distribution maps are included, along with a colour code for endemics and an incisive introduction that discusses avifaunal changes in the Caribbean in recent years.Now in its second edition, this book is the only guide you'll need to help you enjoy the rich birdlife of these tropical island nations.
