Product Description
pHere in an easy-to-use format is the first guide to the nearly 1,300 species of non-passerine South American birds. It complements Robert Ridgly and Guy Tudor's large reference volumes on the passerines (1,800 species), which will soon be available in a single-volume field guide format./pp One of things that makes this book special is its use of masterful and alluring illustrations; most neotropical birders will want the book for the illustrations alone. The text concentrates on the key identification features of each species and follows the layout of other books in this series. The book may be used in conjunction with regional and country field guides./pulli First guide to nearly 1,300 species /lili Easy-to-use format /lili Complements volumes on passerine birds /lili Contains key identification features /lili More than 150 color illustrations /lili More than 1,270 maps/li/ul

As non bird watcher, I bougth this to revieuw all the birds I saw on a recent trip to Peru. It is a good book. The only limitation is that only the Non-Passerines are shown, so I will need to buy another book to be complete. I miss an explanation in the introduction off what are passerine and non-passerine birds.
Great to have them together July 29, 2007

Great to have all the non-passerine birds (non-songbirds) together in one booklet, for the most bird-rich continent in the world. Especially handy for those countries that still don't have good field guides, but also handy for comparing species across country boundaries. br /The paintings are very nice, and the birds have their natural pose, something we are missing in the latest field guides. The distribution maps are bit small, but still adequate.br /For any lover of Southamerican birds, the quality of the paintings alone is worth the purchase of this book, with 1300 species.br /

The book is really complete, with very nice draws of the species listed, and some interesting information about each group and species.

this book contains all the non passerine birds in S. America, although it doesn't give in depth descriptions of them it is much easier to use than my five pound book that coveres half of the passerines.
