Synopsis:

Here is a substantially revised and updated English-language version of the only comprehensive, scientific treatment of Brazil's 1635 bird species. Written by the then dean of Brazilian ornithologists and published in Brazil in 1985, it not only lists every individual Brazilian species and provides detailed accounts for most of them but also gives an extensive treatment of the characteristics of each bird family found in the country. In addition, it analyzes the composition of Brazil's avifauna and relates it to the country's geography.

About the Author: Helmut Sick (1910-1991) was Curator of Birds at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro and Titular Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. William Belton, a retired Foreign Service Officer, is an elected member of the American Ornithological Union and Honorary Vice President of the International Council for Bird Preservation.
