Large octavo,277 pp.,fine copy in laminated boards. Includes the standard Australian bird checklist and covers the systematics and taxonomy of the Australian avifauna. An essential reference for all seriously interested in the subject. A major revision of the previous checklist published in 1994. Lists those species of birds that have been recorded from the Australian mainland, Tasmania, island territories and surrounding waters. Based on the authors' original book The taxonomy and species of birds of Australia and its territories, it includes any new species for which records have been accepted by the Records Appraisal Committee of Birds Australia. It also includes all extant and recently extinct (post-1800) native species, as well as new species, accepted vagrants and introduced species that have become established and continue to survive in the wild. The book provides brief explanations for taxonomic changes in the literature and for those adopted within it, including the citations for such work. Its geographical coverage includes Christmas Island, Cocos-Keeling Islands, Heard Island, Lord Howe Island, Macquarie Island, Norfolk Island and the islands of Torres Strait, and also Ashmore Reef, owing to the number of vagrant species that have recently been reported from there. Also included are vagrants from the Australian Antarctic Territory that have not been recorded elsewhere in Australia or its territories. …

About the book >.>.> Yellow Robins perched sideways on low tree trunks, tuneful thrushes, Willie Wagtails chasing across suburban lawns, sociable babblers preening each other - The Robins & Flycatchers of Australia, fifth in a series of works published in association with the National Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife of the Australian Museum, covers some of the most familiar of Australian bush birds.
