A new in-depth field guide to Australian birds
The Australian avifauna is large, diverse, and spectacular, reflecting
the continent's impressive habitats and evolutionary history. Looking at
more than 900 species, The Australian Bird Guide is the most
comprehensive field guide on Australian birds available, and contains by
far the best coverage of southern seabirds. With 249 color plates
containing 4,000 stunning images, this book offers a far more in-depth
treatment of subspecies, rarities, and overall plumage variation than
comparative guides. The artwork meets the highest standards, and the
text is rigorously accurate and current in terms of identification
details, distribution, and status. The Australian Bird Guide sets a
new bar for coverage of Australia's remarkable avifauna and is
indispensable to all birders and naturalists interested in this area of
the world, including the southern oceans.
