Blom, Birdwatchers Digest, "This book is a major contribution to the ornithology of South East Asia, one of the world's most biologically diverse regions. There is an excellent selection of artists who obviously know their birds, producing illustrations that accurately depict characteristics needed for ready field identification, and the text descriptions are succinct but comprehensive. This is a first-rate field guide and should be the premier guide to the region for some time to come." --Hugh Dingle, University of California, Davis, "Clearly the book that bird watchers interested in the region need to have . . .

SynopsisFamous for its vast diversity of birdlife, Southeast Asia is an increasingly popular destination for birders and ecotourists. Travelers, however, have long been without an up-to-date, comprehensive bird guide to this fascinating region. A Guide to the Birds of Southeast Asia fills this need, illustrating and describing all 1,250 species found in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The book also covers a wide range of species found in the Indian subcontinent, China, Taiwan, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo, and the Philippines. The introduction presents an overview of the entire region, encompassing information on climate, habitats, and conservation, as well as birdwatching hints and explanations on how to use the book most effectively. One hundred and four color plates, painted by a group of leading artists, depict all species and the majority of distinctive subspecies of the region in every major plumage variation, including variations by age and sex. The text provides unrivaled detail on identification (including comparisons of similar species) and covers voice, habitat, behavior, range, status, and breeding--all vital aids for identification in the field. A Guide to the Birds of Southeast Asia is a milestone in ornithological publishing and an indispensable field and reference tool.
