Birds of Southern Africa

Southern Africa is becoming an increasingly popular destination for people who want to see first-hand the abundant wildlife of this vast continent. Birds of Southern Africa is the first field guide to illustrate and describe every species of bird-males, females, and juveniles-found in the Republic of South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Angola. With entries on more than 1,250 species, the text details habitat, key identification features, and notes on the songs and calls of each species. The 84 color plates appear opposite their relevant text for quick and easy reference, and distribution maps are included for each species so that identification can be further clarified. Comprehensive and easy to use, this is a must for all birdwatchers visiting the region.
