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 *
The most important book to be published about South American birds for years. * Birdtours.co.uk *
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.
