Reviews / Votes
"Highly portable. . . . Birders, natural historians, biologists and others would appreciate this compact but rich guide to the Birds of Chile. Recommended." * ARBA Reviews * "This is an outstanding field guide. . . There are images of birds in habitat: where the subject is smaller in the frame and sometimes imperfectly lit. This is brave - but inspired. It gives a real insight into how you see the birds in the field. For me, it's the stand-out characteristic of the book - and the one that sets it apart from the burgeoning morass of photographic guides." * Neotropical Birding * "N/A"---Walter Belis, NatuurpuntMore details
