Birds of Chile cover

A cutting-edge photographic field guide to the birds of Chile

This is the first modern-style photographic field guide to the birds of Chile, an increasingly popular destination with birders and naturalists. Compact and easy to carry, pack, and use, Birds of Chile is ideal for curious naturalists and experienced birders alike, providing everything anyone needs to identify the birds they see. Clear photographs and brief, facing-page species accounts highlight what to look for and how to quickly identify species. The photos include both close-ups and birds-in-habitat images to further aid real-life identification. An introduction and maps provide an overview of Chile's geographic regions and their distinctive birdlife. Birds of Chile is also a great resource for birding in nearby countries, especially Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru.

"Highly portable. . . . Birders, natural historians, biologists and others would appreciate this compact but rich guide to the Birds of Chile. Recommended." * ARBA Reviews *
"This is an outstanding field guide. . . There are images of birds in habitat: where the subject is smaller in the frame and sometimes imperfectly lit. This is brave - but inspired. It gives a real insight into how you see the birds in the field. For me, it's the stand-out characteristic of the book - and the one that sets it apart from the burgeoning morass of photographic guides." * Neotropical Birding *
