Super! J'adore ce livre. Enfin tous les oiseaux du monde illustrés dans une même ouvrage imprimé! C'est comme si je recommençais à découvrir les oiseaux, je me sens comme il y a 25 ans! J'aime beaucoup voir si les oiseaux qu'on a ont des "cousins" dans d'autres pays, entre autres. Soyez tout de même prévenus que les oiseaux introduits, comme l'Étourneau sansonnet, n'ont que leur répartition de leur continent original illustrée, donc c'est comme si on ne l'avait pas ici, en Amérique du Nord. Je n'ai pas encore utilisé les codes QR, mais je ne l'ai que depuis quelques jours. Un excellent cadeau pour ornithologue aguerri ou pour débutant curieux.
Translation:
Great! I love this book. Finally all the birds of the world illustrated in the same printed book! It's like I'm starting to discover birds again, I feel like 25 years ago! I really like to see if the birds we have have "cousins" in other countries. Be warned, however, that introduced birds, like the European Starling, only have their distribution from their original continent shown, so it is as if we didn't have it here in North America. I haven't used the QR codes yet, but have only had it for a few days. A great gift for the seasoned bird watcher or for the curious beginner.
