Review
Fascinating reading. . . . [This] finally eclipses . . . the old field guide . . . that in its various forms held sway for more than fifty years. . . . The illustrations . . . are exceptionally beautiful. . . . Indispensable. -- Stephen Mills, Times Literary Supplement
The current consensus is that the finest field guide to the exotic archipelagos of the Caribbean is Birds of the West Indies by Herbert Raffaele. Now that I've visited the region a few times, I can definitely agree! . . . The abundant illustrations are crisp, colorful, and mostly accurate while the text is succinct yet informative. -- Mike Bergin, 10,000 Birds
While paging through the new West Indian field guide . . . I lost track of several hours, completely captivated by the images before me. . . . [It includes] color plates of surpassing accuracy and . . . the text . . . is accurate and highly readable. -- "Tropical Audubon Bulletin

This review is from: Birds of the West Indies (Paperback)
Took this book on my recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It has great pics and information and is easy to use, and lightweight to carry in the field.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Much needed update,
This review is from: Birds of the West Indies (Paperback)
Birds of the West Indies is a much needed and well researched update of the classic book "Birds of the West Indies" by James Bond. This update provides layman and serious birders and researchers with critically important updates on species distribution and habitat areas. A must read for the serious birders and curious readers interested in understanding the birds of the West Inidan Archipelago.
4.0 out of 5 stars
An up-to-date field-book for the Antilles,
By "cuyaya" (Hispaniolan Ornithological Society, Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birds of the West Indies (Paperback)
Though the previous A Guide To The Birds of The West Indies is unparalleled in its depth, this handy guide is what we were waiting for. It saves us the pains of lugging its bigger predecesor into swamps, jungles and fields, without sacrificing key information and wonderful drawings.
