Review

[A]n outstanding field guide that covers a vast geographic area and includes a wealth of information for more than 1,100 species of birds. . . . It should be purchased by anybody interested in the birds of southern South America. -- Floyd E. Hayes, Auk --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

Illustrated Checklist Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica is the first field guide to ever illustrate and describe every species of bird found in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil and Uruguay. This means that any bird that you see in these areas will be identifiable, even if the bird is male, female or a juvenile. The text details what kind of habitat the birds are found in, key identification features and notes on the songs and calls of each species. 1140 species are illustrated in colour and appear on pages opposite the text for quick and easy reference. Maps are also included for every species to show where the species occurs in the area to further confirm your identification. Illustrated Checklist Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica will surely be the most comprehensive and easy-to-use book on the subject and a must for all visitors to southern South America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Birds of South America, Mar 6 2011

This review is from: Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica: (Paperback)
I bought this book in preparation for our cruise around South America. We have just returned from this amazing time. The bird book was very informative, and we could identify quite a few birds with its help, The illustrations and descriptions are clear and easy to understand, we enjoyed learning about the birds in this continent, and managed to get some good photographs too.
I would recommend this book to anyone visiting South America, who is into birds.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good guide for visiting birders, Jan 29 2003
By 
Kevin Wheeler (St. George, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica: (Paperback)
This guide is good; probably the best available for the region. The birders I ran into (even a park ranger) had this guide. It is a convenient size, fitting easily in my cargo-shorts pockets while both hands held my binoculars. It describes most of species (I found a few exceptions, eg. Gray Gull, but it is fairly complete). I did find that some of the illustrations were somewhat simplistic. More detailed descriptions would be useful, but could also negatively affect the weight of the book. I used it in Parque Nacional Iguazu and los Esteros del Ibera, and it served its purpose well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good guide for a beginner, April 4 2002
By 
This review is from: Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica: (Paperback)
It was the first time for me in South America, so I didn't know nothing about the birds there. I had the chance to find this guide, which helped me very much, thanks to the good figures. The text is a little bit poor, but for a beginner it's enough. For some families like the Furnariids and the Tyrannids the figures weren't always good for recognising the species in the field. But, in general, I found this guide very useful and the best between all other guides of the region which I saw.
