Media Reviews
An excellent new photographic field guide... The most comprehensive and authoritative field guide to the birds of the region. --Birding Ecuador blog What is incredible is that even the rarest and most difficult birds are depicted with high-resolution photos... This book is much more than a compilation of high quality photographs--it is a true field guide. This is not surprising since the two authors are both leading experts on Ecuador's birds, and Nick Athanas is a leading bird guide for Tropical Birding. --Frank Lambert, Birder's Library
