Review:
“The Photo guide to be reviewed today, brought me memories of several locations I visited on past years. The authors Howell and Schmitt are experienced as leaders with WINGS. They have created this comprehensive photo guide that will make birders or any naturalists to immediate ID of birds form the areas indicated in this guide. There are over 1000 photos on 240 pages, in high quality and shot in their own habitat.
The species are described as well as their habitats and behavior so it’s their status and distribution. The contents of guide are divided as follows: Swimming Waterbirds, Flying Waterbirds, Walking Waterbirds, Gamebirds and Allies, Raptors and Owls, Larger Landbirds, Aerial Landbirds, and Songbirds.
This guide has been printed as a compact book 5 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches.”

I was very tempted to buy this book when I was recently in Chile. I love visual guides such as this one, and it would have been very handy when it came to identifying species.
To have a guide helps a lot if you really want to know the name of the species. Thank you for sharing Chloe. 🙂
