Description
A comprehensive guide to the birds of Kenya and adjoining Northern Tanzania.
Kenya is one of the world's great wildlife travel destinations, with a diverse and very large avifauna to accompany the big cats and large herbivores. This book, covering both Kenya and adjacent parts of northern Tanzania, covers all 1089 bird species known from the region, including vagrants.
The plates are packed with illustrations that cover all plumages and major races likely to be encountered in the region. Concise species text describes identification, status, range, habits and voice, with range maps for all residents and regular migrants.
This authoritative book represents both an indispensable guide for the visiting birder, and an important tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this part of Africa.

Reviews
-
Should give a major boost to birding and ornithology in this region, which has such a remarkably rich and fascinating avifauna. Altogether, very warmly recommended.
Wilson Bulletin
-
This book very successfully fills a significant void in African field guides, and will be useful not only to bird watchers on safari and professional ornithologists in East Africa but also for many parts of Central Africa where few comprehensive, well-illustrated and up-to-date field guides are available.
Quarterly Review of Biology

Dale Zimmerman, Don Turner and David Pearson joined forces with artists Ian Willis and Douglas Pratt to produce this mighty tome.
