A richly illustrated photographic field guide
This is the first photographic field identification guide to Eastern Caribbean birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, land crabs, dragonflies, and butterflies. Beautiful and easy-to-use, the guide covers 17 island groups stretching from the Virgin Islands south through the Lesser Antilles, from Anguilla to Grenada, where a unique range of flora and fauna evolved in relative isolation. Around 30 percent of all the species included are endemic to the region. For each island group there is a list of endemic and “don’t miss” species, alongside suggested sites to visit; site accessibility is indicated where possible.
Whether you live in the Eastern Caribbean or are visiting, this is an indispensable guide to the spectacular wildlife of its beautiful islands.
Covers all the birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, land crabs, dragonflies, and butterflies that are likely to be seen, and includes an introduction to each group
Features more than 420 species and over 850 stunning color photos
Species accounts highlight key identification features and information on distribution and habitat preferences
Includes richly illustrated introductory sections with maps and habitat information
Details conservation status and actions for more than 100 globally threatened species
