5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed site guides with emphasis on key endemic species, May 16, 1996
By A Customer
Unlike typical Where to Find Birds books, which tend to be written to a low common denominator, Wheatley's book incorporates the latest field reports from leading British and American experts on South American birds. There are numerous maps, and those of areas with which I am familiar appear to be quite accurate. Wheatley's emphasis is on restricted range endemic species and globally endangered species. Now, the first step in planning a birding trip to South America will be to consult Wheatley's guide

3.0 out of 5 stars good but not great, April 8, 2007
By P. Reese "muncie-birder" (MUNCIE, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The main problem with this book is that it was published 12 years ago. South America has changed greatly during that time. The book is in dire need of an update. But that being said it is the only book on the market that I know of.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent but dated overview of South American Birding , March 4, 2009
The only problem with this book is that it is over ten years old. Given all the changes in roads, habitat, politics, lodging you must seek out information on the internet to supplement what is here. What is in the book still makes it very worthwhile to have. The best use of this book is for a birder that wants to sit down and have in his/her hands a summary of all the birds one could expect to find and a guide to locations they can be found in each of the South American countries.

To find all this information would require days of searches on the internet. With this book you can comfortably sit down in your favorite chair and dream of places far away as well as plan on the best places to visit. I found it an excellent source of birds in locations to supplement my field guide studies. It will also give you information on climate, insect pests, travel and safety concerns for each country and region.

4.0 out of 5 stars Generally A Good Tool
This book was alot of help in Argentina. It covers all of South America and that is a large area so it is understandable that Uruguay was a little light.
