Synopsis

Trinidad & Tobago are popular tourist destinations and the islands are also a top location for visiting birders. This comprehensive and portable field guide covers every species found on the islands. The concise text includes descriptions of every species, highlighting plumage variation and distinctions from similar species. The plates use the relevant images from Birds of Northern South America
to create new plates specific for Trinidad & Tobago.
This new edition has been completely revised. The plates have been extensively re-worked, with many images replaced and repainted. As a result, there are now eight extra plates, and some groups, such as flycatchers, have been repainted almost in entirety. The text has also been updated.
This new edition supersedes all previous field guides to these popular islands.

About the Authors

Martyn Kenefick lives in Trinidad, where he is an ornithologist and birdwatching guide. Martyn is the Honorary Secretary of the Trinidad and Tobago Rare Birds Committee. He has co-written three editions of the Helm field guide Birds of Trinidad and Tobago.

Robin Restall (1937–2023) was an author and illustrator. Originally a draughtsman, Robin’s development as an ornithology artist began with his love of cagebirds, which led to his first book, Munias and Mannikins (1996). He became a Research Associate at the Phelp Ornithological Collection in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America, which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. Published in 2006, this book remains a magnificent testament to Robin’s powers of observation and illustration. It went on to provide the basis for several other field guides, notably to Ecuador and Venezuela, both of which remain the standard works.

Floyd Hayes is an American who formerly taught at the university on Trinidad.
