Synopsis:

A comprehensive guide to the birds of Chile

Chile holds a great diversity of habitat types, from the dry deserts of the north and the Andes running along its spine down to the tundra and sub-Antarctic rainforest of Tierra del Fuego in the far south. This wide range of habitats supports an interesting range of breeding and visiting birds, including some of the most sought-after species in world birding, such as Diademed Sandpiper-plover, Magellanic Woodpecker and Grey-breasted Seedsnipe. Chile also holds nine endemics found nowhere else in the world.

This guide features concise, identification-focused text opposite the brilliantly rendered plates, allowing quick and easy reference. Detailed distribution maps are provided for every species, completing this essential field guide to the birds of this spectacular country.

He also leads birding tours throughout North and South America, and is the author of several bird books, including Birds of Chile in the Helm Field Guides series.
