Product Description
This photographic guide deals with the basics of bird identification in East Africa by presenting those species that are most likely to be seen in accessible habitats throughout the region. The book is aimed directly at field identification. For those species that are sexually dimorphic, have both breeding and non-breeding plumages, 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa, October 5, 2000
By Bryan Sigel (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
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."

5.0 out of 5 stars A shirt pocket must for birders in East Africa., October 11, 1998
By A Customer
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.
