This field guide is an abridged edition of the very successful Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania written by the same authors. It covers all 1089 bird species known from the region, including vagrants. This book combines the format and detailed treatment of the larger version with the convenience of a field guide. All the species are illustrated with full details of all the plumages and major races likely to be encountered. Concise text describes identification, status, range, habits and voice with range maps for nearly every species. This authoritative book will not only be an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of these countries.

Should give a major boost to birding and ornithology in this region, which has such a remarkably rich and fascinating avifauna. Altogether, very warmly recommended. * Wilson Bulletin * This book very successfully fills a significant void in African field guides, and will be useful not only to bird watchers on safari and professional ornithologists in East Africa but also for many parts of Central Africa where few comprehensive, well-illustrated and up-to-date field guides are available. * Quarterly Review of Biology * Dale Zimmerman, Don Turner and David Pearson joined forces with artists Ian Willis and Douglas Pratt to produce this mighty tome. * Travel Africa *
