Volume II of a comprehensive two-volume identification set – the ultimate guide to birds of the region. Covering every species, including vagrants, found in Ecuador, Columbia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, the magnificent Birds of Northern South America represents one of the greatest ornithological publications of the 21st century. In this volume dedicated to the Robin Restall's detailed and comprehensive colour plates, the more than 2,300 species discussed in Volume I are accurately depicted in a total of nearly 6,400 images, illustrating every distinct plumage of every species and subspecies, and highlighting key identification features. Concise caption text appears on the plates, and distribution maps appear opposite the plates. More detailed text covering geographical variation, identification, status, habitat, voice and taxonomy is found in the first volume of the set. This authoritative book is not only an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this region, which is of such importance to both resident species and those which pass through on migration. A landmark publication, Birds of Northern South America remains the standard work on the stunningly diverse birds of the region.
