The ultimate illustrated field guide to the birds of Argentina and the
islands of the South-west Atlantic
Argentina is one of South America's premier birding destinations,
encompassing a range of habitats--from rainforests and pampas grasslands
to the wetlands of the Iberá and the wilderness of Tierra del Fuego.
Surprisingly, despite the strong interest in Argentina's rich avian
population, the country has until now lacked a credible, modern field
guide to its birds. Authoritative and up-to-date, Birds of Argentina
and the South-west Atlantic provides detailed species accounts, a
plethora of distribution maps, and close to 200 stunning color plates
illustrating every species and many distinct plumages and subspecies.
This essential book will satisfy researchers, birders, and
conservationists alike.
