This new guide is a really excellent book that will make birding in Peru so much easier and enjoyable. It is laid out in the perfect way for a field guide. * www.wingsbirds.com * The book describes, maps and illustrates them all, and is a model of high-quality illustration, concise information and clear graphics. A must for both ornitho-experts and armchair dreamers. * The Guardian * This book far surpasses the competition and for the first time allows identification of unfamiliar species throughout Peru using only one book. * Ibis * ...this book is on a trajectory to revolutionise birding in Peru and to make a monumental contribution toward environmental awareness and conservation in the country. * Cotinga *
