Phillipps’ Field Guide to the Birds Of Borneo – Book Review

The Phillipps’ Field Guide to the Birds of Borneo – Third Edition Revised
This updated, revised guide is the work of Quentin Phillipps and Karen Phillipps.

Covering a total 673 species of birds from the Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan areas. The colorful bird illustrations surpass the 2000 mark in 141 color plates.
As one can immediately realize you have a complete description in multiple stages of bird development, mapping of occurrence and distribution for all locations.
This guide gives account of all the best bird locations, information that includes description of the complete environment.
I consider it to be a very important idea of having this guide in my luggage along with my photographic gear when I visit picturesque Borneo!

I don’t have this one yet… I know someone who’s been to Borneo. Are you going? Sometimes buying the field guide eventually gets you there. It worked for me for Brazil. 🙂

  I’m in the process of planning a trip to Costa Rica for next year… by then Tyler will be 5 years old. He’s got to learn the ropes, I’ll give him his camera and see what happens. Thanks Lisa! 🙂

    Cool! That sounds like great fun. I can’t wait to see Tyler’s photos! I’m going to Costa Rica too, for a week in November. 🙂
