A monumental work, this is among the best designed field guides I have come across. What they have achieved has already surpassed by a significant margin all other field guides in the region. This guide is in a different class and is an absolute must for anyone birding South America north of the Amazon. * Birdwatch * This latest addition to field guides is superb. An excellent reference work in all ways for anyone interested in the birds of this region. * BTO News * This is quite simply a remarkable book, owing to its thoughtful design, attention to detail, and its inclusion of all subspecies and plumage variations found throughout the region of coverage … This clearly represents a new generation of bird guides. A landmark publication. * Journal of Caribbean Ornithology *

Author Biography

Robin Restall (1937–2023) was a Research Associate at the Colección Ornitológica William H. Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America, which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. He also wrote and illustrated Munias and Mannikins, and contributed to a number of other guides to South American birds. Miguel Lentino is Scientific Director of the Colección Ornitológica William H. Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela. The first president of the Venezuelan Union of Ornithologists between 2006 and 2010, Miguel has coordinated a bird monitoring program in the Henri Pittier National Park, which has operated uninterruptedly since 1990, and culminated in the first ringing manual for Neotropical ornithologists. Clemencia Rodner is an ornithologist and researcher also based at the Colección Ornitológica.
