A compact, easy-to-use bird identification guide for any nature watcher
on a visit to China, one of the world's top destinations for watching
birds. A total of 252 species is described here in detail, from the
majestic Black-crowned Night Heron to the striking Large Niltava. All of
these birds are clearly illustrated in a collection of specially
commissioned color photographs. With almost 300 full-color photographs,
easy-to-use thumbnail family silhouettes, a regional distribution map
and handy tips on the best birding localities.
Illustrated with clear color photography and brief but authoritative
descriptions the Pocket Photo Guides highlight the species of birds and
animals from each region that the traveler is most likely to see, as
well as those that are genuinely endemic (only to be seen in that
country or region) or special rarities. The genuine pocket size allow
the books to be carried around on trips and excursions and will take up
minimal backpack and suitcase space.
