Birds of Peru

The book describes, maps and illustrates them all, and is a model of high-quality illustration, concise information and clear graphics. A must for both ornitho-experts and armchair dreamers. * The Guardian * If any place needed a field guide, it was Peru, second only to Columbia as the most bird-rich country in the world. Now, 40 years after he first envisioned a field guide, John O'Neill and his principal co-authors, Tom Schulenberg and Doug Stotz, have finally completed the guide against which all others for the New World tropics will be judged. * Audubon * This book far surpasses the competition and for the first time allows identification of unfamiliar species throughout Peru using only one book. * Ibis * Rarely in the history of tropical ornithology have so many waited so long and so eagerly for a field guide to appear … The end result of this long process is a spectacular addition to the literature on South American birds. The plates are superb, the guide is easy to use in the field, the range maps are informative and accurate, and the text is concise while still including essential information * The Auk * This book is on a trajectory to revolutionise birding in Peru and to make a monumental contribution toward environmental awareness and conservation in the country. * Cotinga * If you’re lucky enough to be birding in Peru, you’d be crazy not to have this with you. * The Birder's Library *
