The ultimate field guide to the birds of Argentina, an indispensable companion for any traveller to the region.
The ultimate field guide to the birds of Argentina.
This spectacular field guide is the ultimate reference to the birds of Argentina and the islands of the South-west Atlantic, essential for researchers, birders and conservationists alike. It covers Argentina and all Fuegian and Hornean islands south to the Diego Ramírez Islands and east to the Falklands.
More than 2,300 images illustrate 1,075 species, including all residents, migrants and most vagrants across 199 stunning colour plates, depicting every species and many distinct plumages and subspecies, including 28 endemics and 17 near-endemics.
Concise text describes key identification features, status, range, habitats and voice, with up-to-date colour distribution maps for each species.
This landmark work, the product of more than 25 years of study, is comprehensive yet accessible and field-friendly. It stands to remain the definitive work on Argentina's birds for generations to come.
With 28 endemics and 17 near-endemics, Argentina has plenty to offer – and now we have an outstanding field guide to use there. Mark Twain famously wrote ‘All good things arrive unto them that wait’, and he was right: we’ve waited a long time for this book… but it was worth it! * British Birds *
Argentina has a lot to offer any birder … I, for one, am very much looking forward to birding in Argentina again and using this excellent guide. Indeed, I am confident that Birds of Argentina and the South-west Atlantic will now become the field guide of choice for anyone birding in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, as well as the Falkland Islands. * Frank Lambert, The Birder's Library *
The achievement is huge … I know the next time I’m back in Argentina, I’ll be eager to revive the serotonin of the beginner’s mind and put this guide to the test … the world’s eighth-largest country has gone from a field-guide void to the top of the Neotropical pile. * American Birding Association *
A wonderful new guide to the birds of Argentina, with due attention also being paid to the avifauna of the southwest Atlantic … I cannot help reflect that Helm has done a masterful job in the coverage of the avifauna of this part of the Americas. * Travels with Birds *
