Full Description
This volume, first in a series of four, outlines the habitat, range, habits and voices of the songbirds in South America. It starts from a museum approach and then examines specimens of each subspecies, comparing them visually. This is the first time that the birds of South America have been described in a single, published source. At a time when rapid development is devastating millions of acres of tropical habitat in South America, a record of this endangered resource becomes crucial.
