With over 1800 species, Peru has the second richest avifauna of any
country in the world. As a consequence it is one of the most popular
birding destinations in South America. This will be the first
comprehensive and fully illustrated field guide to the birds of Peru.
Text is arranged opposite the plates, in conventional field guide
manner. The combination of authoritative text and superb artwork will
set new standards for South American field guides.
