More than 1,890 species - nearly one fifth of the world’s birds - have been recorded in Peru, which hosts one of the richest avifaunas of any country in the world, including a mind-boggling 113 endemics.
This field guide offers full coverage for every species that occurs in the country. 307 superb, high-quality plates include full coverage of distinct plumages, subspecific variation sexual and age variation and morphs. The facing text features concise descriptions that discuss key identification criteria, status, vocalisations and distribution, with colour distribution maps.
A landmark publication that was the product of almost 40 years of research, expeditions and study, this remarkable book remains the standard work for Peru. Authoritative yet portable and suitable for field use, it is a must-have for any ornithologist or birder visiting the country.
