Birds of Northern South America: An Identification Guide by Robin Restall
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 this region, which is of such importance to both the indigenous species and those which pass through on migration.
A monumental work, this is among the best designed field guides I have come acrossWhat 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 *
