Argentina is one of South America's premier birding destinations, encompassing a wide range of habitats from lush rainforests and vast pampas grasslands to the windswept wilderness of Tierra del Fuego. Surprisingly, until now, the country has lacked a credible and modern field guide to the wide range of birds that occur in this dramatic land. Birds of Argentina will be the standard work on the country's birds for many years, with detailed, authoritative text, up-to-date maps and more than 150 stunning plates illustrating every species and all major plumages. The book has been produced in two matching volumes to make it more portable in the field.
