5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent illustrations and map indications, Dec 27 2011
This review is from: A Field Guide to the Birds of Brazil (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on the birds of Brazil. The illustrations are very well done and the indications on the map of Brazil show clearly where the bird can be found. Recently on a trip to the island of Dominica, I spotted an unusual bird that could not be identified in my West Indies Field Guide to Birds. I made a quick sketch of the bird and indicated color references on my sketch, and when I came home a week later was able to unequivically identify this bird using A Field Guide to the Birds of Brazil. The bird was a vagrantfrom Brazil. I was very fortunate to have such good illustrations to reviw which enabled me to identify this mystery bird (it was a green winged saltator, for those who are curious).
