About this product

Product Information

This is a single-volume guide to South American passerines, based on a two-volume work first published in 1989 and 1994. For the new edition, the text has been condensed, most of the missing species that were not illustrated before have now been painted, and brand new maps have been compiled for every species. This is a major identification guide to the songbirds of South America. No other single volume guide exists for passerines (though there is a single-volume guide for non-passerines from Collins). There are still large areas of South America without a comprehensive field guide, so this book will become essential for anyone birding in these areas (e.g. Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay).

  • Lovely book!

    Full of useful descriptions and pictures, although I usually prefer photographs I found it quite easy to identify several species from photos I had taken in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina just by flicking through the plates. Although it is not lightweight I might even take it with me on my next trip. Will now have to find a similar non-songbird book!

  • Complete and beautifully illustrated.

    Bulky yet concise given the large number of passerines in South America. Illustrations first class and text gives all the important details to interest any ornithologist. Essential for anyone planning a visit, the maps being a useful tool. Delightful to browse at home. And all for less than £10!!
