Birds of Cuba by Orlando H Garrido
This field guide is dedicated to Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean. It provides a brief and informative summary of what is known about the birds of Cuba, making it useful for birders and tourists alike.
Orlando H. Garrido (1931-2024) was a leading ornithologist who contributed more than 60 years of service to the study of natural sciences in Cuba, where he curated the birds in Havana’s National Museum of Natural History. With degrees from the University of Miami and the University of Havana, Orlando was the senior author of Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba and a contributing author to Birds of the West Indies, along with the authorship of hundreds of scientific publications. A true Cuban legend, Garrido was both a respected naturalist credited with the description of more than 100 species, and a renowned tennis player, having played at Wimbledon several times in his youth. Arturo Kirkconnell is one of Cuba's leading ornithologists. The former Curator of Ornithology at the National Museum of Natural History of Cuba in Havana, his curriculum vitae includes almost 100 scientific papers on the island's birds, and he is the co-author of A Birdwatchers’ Guide to Cuba and A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Cuba, along with two editions of the Helm field guide Birds of Cuba. Arturo has been leading birding tours in Cuba since 1988.
