Birds of Madagascar (A Photographic Field Guide)

The most comprehensive single-volume field guide to Madagascar’s unique birds

Madagascar supports six endemic bird families and over 100 endemic bird species, making the “eighth continent” a magnet for birders and naturalists from around the world. Birds of Madagascar covers every bird species ever recorded on the island and features previously unpublished photos that depict all the distinctive plumages. The text is written in an authoritative yet accessible style, and the detailed distribution maps are the most up-to-date available.

For some difficult-to-identify species-groups, the book includes comparative plates illustrating many new and previously unpublished identification features. Subspecies, potential future splits, and other taxonomic issues are also addressed.
