This authoritative book will not only be an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this region, which is of such importance to both the indigenous species and those which pass through on migration.
A monumental work, this is among the best designed field guides I have come across. What they have achieved has already surpassed by a significant margin all other field guides in the region. This guide is in a different class and is an absolute must for anyone birding South America north of the Amazon. * Birdwatch *
The most important book to be published about South American birds for years. * www.birdtours.co.uk *
Truly monumental... The authors and publisher should certainly be congratulated on the production of such an attractive and valuable work, covering in admirable detail the birds of surely one of the richest avifauna in the world. * Birdwatching *
A significant contribution in every sense to our knowledge of Neotropical birds, this major work... raises the bar considerably for its subject matter. * Birdwatch *
This latest addition to field guides is superb. An excellent reference work in all ways for anyone interested in the birds of this region. * BTO News *
