Rarely in the history of tropical ornithology have so many waited so long and so eagerly for a field guide to appear … The end result of this long process is a spectacular addition to the literature on South American birds. The plates are superb, the guide is easy to use in the field, the range maps are informative and accurate, and the text is concise while still including essential information * The Auk *
This book is on a trajectory to revolutionise birding in Peru and to make a monumental contribution toward environmental awareness and conservation in the country. * Cotinga *
