The fabulous birds of Trinidad and Tobago have attracted naturalists from around the world for generations. Bill Murphy wrote this book in 1986 to satisfy the need for clear, complete information on finding birds throughout both Trinidad and Tobago. Ten years later, from that first effort has come this brand new edition.

Don't go there without it!,
By pka00152@alpha.wvup.wvnet.edu (Washington, WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Trinidad and Tobago (Paperback)
Murphy's "A Birder's Guide to Trinidad and Tobago" is newly released with new maps and updated commentary. These two islands have as many species of birds as the continental US. Finding even a couple hundred species during a self-guided trip requires this book. If you, a friend, or a loved one is going to the islands, don't leave home without it!

Too bad Bill Murphy hasn't written a guide for SE VA!,
By martie heins (Woodsfield OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Trinidad and Tobago (Spiral-bound)
This guy should be doing nothing but writing bird guides! First, the writing itself is not only clear, but also entertaining. He writes about the birds, the geography, the accomodations as if this is his hometown and these are his friends. The tips are valuable... the book's organization can not be improved... even if you don't plan a birding trip to Trinidad and Tobago, it's worth having this book, because it's fun to read. I wish he would write guides for American areas!

Fun, informative and useful,
This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Trinidad and Tobago (Paperback)
This book is a great find for anyone planning a trip to Trinidad and Tobago! The author gives you great information on the best birding locations, how to get to them and which birds you will see. The bird list and seasonal distribution list are very useful. Besides the birding info his book is an invaluable guide to where to stay and how to get around.
