Photographic Guide to Birds of Australia: 2nd Edition

This is a bird-identification guide with a difference. Instead of using color plates of paintings to identify the species, Photographic Field Guide to Birds of Australia features photographs. Photographs of living birds can often provide detail not available in paintings, such as typical poses, real habitat and often more realistic coloring. Following a brief introduction about bird biology, habitats and bird families, the main part of the book comprises species entries, and features all 840 bird species that live on or visit the Australian continent.
