Product Description
Review
"This is the fifth volume of a projected seven-volume guide to the birds of Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. It describes 118 species, of which 115 breed in the region, including the pittas, lyrebirds, wrens, and honeyeaters. Information on each species is presented in sections: field identification, habitat, distribution and population, movements, food, social organization and behavior, voice, breeding, and plumages and external morphology. The accounts include b&w illustrations of behavioral postures and plumage features, maps showing breeding and non-breeding distribution, and sonograms of calls and songs. All species (except for those now extinct and vagrants not recorded since 1900) are illustrated with color plates painted for this handbook."--SciTech Book News
