By Francisco Erize, Jorge R. Rodriguez Mata, and Maurice Rumboll

Here in an easy-to-use format is the first guide to the nearly 1,300 species of non-passerine South American birds.

One of things that makes this book special is its use of masterful and alluring illustrations; most neotropical birders will want the book for the illustrations alone. The text concentrates on the key identification features of each species and follows the layout of other books in this series. The book may be used in conjunction with regional and country field guides.
