The text for each species highlights the diagnostic feature or combination of features that will enable the birdwatcher to most easily identify the bird. Clear colour photographs have been chosen to illustrate the guide. For those species that are sexually dimorphic, have both breeding and non-breeding plumage, or in which the juvenile plumage differs markedly from that of the adult, more than one photograph has been included. Thumbnail silhouettes aid the reader in quickly locating the correct group of birds, and for each species account a map shows the bird's distribution.

A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa,
By Bryan Sigel (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa (Paperback)
The pictures are beautiful but the book is by no means comprehensive and I found I had to buy additional books when birding in Ethiopia. Could be retitled "Common Birds of Kenya."

A shirt pocket must for birders in East Africa.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa (Paperback)
This book is authoritative, small, inexpensive, and beautifully illustrated with photos taken by the author. Dave Richards is a superb photographer, and he has chosen those photos which best depict salient features of the birds. Not infrequently, he has more than one picture per species (females, flight, etc.), and he covers 265 species that you are likely to see. Each species description includes color photo(s), a distribution map, and a thumbnail sketch which is not a 'canned' presentation and is a delight to read.

This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa (Paperback)
Very helpful. The photographs are clean. We only encountered one bird that was not in this book. It is not every bird in the region but for its size I would buy it again.
