The Field Guide to the Birds of Chile.

Covering most of the Pacific Coast of South America, Chile offers a diverse range of habitats that attract and support a remarkable variety of nesting, wintering, and migrating birds, from penguins to hummingbirds, making the country one of South America’s top birding destinations. New from Princeton University Press, the Field Guide to the Birds of Chile covers all 468 bird species from the Chilean Tinamou and Juan Fernandez Firecrown to the Magellanic Woodpecker!

This comprehensive and authoritative guide to all of Chile’s birds was written Gonzalo Gonzalez Cifuentes and impressively illustrated by Daniel Martinez Pina in superb detail in 89 color plates that include every major plumage variation. With accurate distribution maps provided on facing pages, the concise species accounts describe key identification features, where to see the species, preferred habitat, and voice. The result is an essential field guide to the birds of this fascinating and beautiful country – Chile. Two points of interest are that the type is small, and to add spice to the book’s illustrations there are some impressive color photographs; for example, check out the Diademed Sandpiper-Plover photo by the author.
