4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Birder's Guide, March 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is truly an excellent guide to the birds of Madagascar. The photographs are of high quality and in most cases can be used to readily identify the bird in question. I particularly like the introductory section on the Habitats and the birds found in them in the several ecological areas of the island. This is of great help to an outsider experiencing this magnificent island for the first time. As pointed out by the authors, the number of breeding species is only about 204 of which some 120 species are endemic. This is not an overwhelming number compared with the vast numbers in neighboring Africa. The species that are endemic are a particularly interesting assortment with as many as six enemic families with as yet unclearified relationships with other bird groups. This is the one place where more information on these unique endemics would have been useful in understanding the avifauna of Madagascar. I will be putting the guide to the test in an upcoming extended tour of the island. I'm sure it will be most useful.
