Famed as brood-parasites of other birds, the cuckoos include a diverse range of species, from the roadrunners of North America to the spectacular malkohas of southern Asia. This book discusses the biology and identification of these birds on a species-by-species basis, bringing together the very latest research with accurate range maps, more than 600 stunning colour photographs that illuminate age and racial plumage differences, and 36 superb plates by a team of internationally renowned artists.
If you are into birds generally and cuckoos specifically, it is a 'must have' title. The book contains not only detailed textual information on each and every species but is also profusely illustrated with plates by a team of internationally acclaimed artists and more than 600 superb photographs... Cuckoos of the World is an invaluable contribution to ornithological literature. * thetraveleditor.com *
