Average Customer Ratings:

Nearly eighteen hundred different bird species--one fifth of the world's birds--have been recorded in Peru. Birds of Peru is the most complete and well-researched field guide to this rich and fascinating diversity. It illustrates every one of the 1,792 species and shows the distinct plumages of each. It includes 304 superb, high-quality color plates directly opposite concise descriptions and color distribution maps, making it much easier to use in the field than standard neotropical field guides. The detailed text discusses key identification features, status, distribution, and vocalizations for all species, and many subspecies.

This field guide enables users to identify all species found in Peru, and is also useful throughout much of western South America, particularly southeastern Colombia, southern Ecuador, western Brazil, Bolivia, and northern Chile.

Birds of Peru is an indispensable resource for birdwatchers, biologists, naturalists, and conservationists working or traveling in Peru and South America.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: very good, excellent!
Comment: It is a very good book, because I served as stew for my field research bird as an ornithologist, I wholeheartedly recommend this guide for all fans of the birds as well as those q working with birds.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Superb field guide-great illustrations
Comment: This new book is excellent and substantial. The text points out field mark details, and describes habitat preference and relative abundance. The bird illustrations (done by a team) are beautifully drawn and look like living birds, not flat representations. Plates are well laid-out and easy to scan, and text and range maps for each species are on the opposite page. Good and often entertaining vocal descriptions are included for every bird.

As a guide to an extremely diverse area this book is pretty thick, but the publisher chose to give it a hard cover, making it just a little heavy for the field. If you want a good desk reference that isn't a problem. If you want to use it in the field and don't mind modifying your book, the hard cover is easy to remove without unbinding the pages and can be covered with something lighter and waterproof (this is what I did with mine). Hopefully future editions will be soft cover.

That said, even if you aren't going to Peru in the near future, this guide will make you consider planning a trip, especially when you take a look inside at the incredible diversity of birds you can find when you go.

Summary: Birds of Peru
Comment: A fantastic resource for anyone considering a birding trip to Peru.
Provides hours of great armchair birding as well as you skim through the plates and study the sometimes agonizingly subtle differences between species and sub-species.
Great distribution maps as well which would prove valuable in planning your trip.
Enjoy!
Customer Rating:
Summary: impressive resource
Comment: This book is clearly an incredible achievement. The only reason I am posting a review is to point out that I'd like to see at least some birds' names in Spanish (like the Jaramillo guide for Chile). After all, there are people there too.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Un des meilleures guide en Amérique du Sud
Comment: Ce nouveau guide des oiseaux du Pérou écrase largement l'ancien qui sur le terrain ne permettait pas de reconnaître grand chose !
La qualité des dessins d'identification en particulier sur des genres difficiles comme les Grimpars ou les Tyrannidés associée au fait que mâles et femelle sont systématiquement dessinés, avec même parfois des dessins d'oiseaux en vol, en font le meilleur guide en Amérique du sud.
Seul bémol, les textes sont trop pauvres, on est loin de la richesse des textes écris par Hilty dans "Birds of Venezuela".

Cordialement
