Great Field Guide for Birding in South America,
By
This review is from: Collins Field Guide Birds Of South America (Hardcover)
An excellent Field Guide. Colour plates are of an excellent quality and the maps, descriptions and colour plates are on the same page. Only problem is that it is only the first volume. Anxiously waiting for the second volume.
