Lista Comentada De Las Aves Argentinas / Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Argentina

A complete and updated checklist of the Birds recorded in Argentina. This comprehensive work brings together a wealth of information, combining extensive recent data with a re-evaluation of the historical literature and a re-examination of critical museum specimens, thus providing a complete update on the status of the Argentine avifauna. The list also covers the Argentine Atlantic Territory and the South Atlantic islands.
