The facing text features concise descriptions that discuss key identification criteria, status, vocalisations and distribution, with colour distribution maps.

A landmark publication that was the product of almost 40 years of research, expeditions and study, this remarkable book remains the standard work for Peru. Authoritative yet portable and suitable for field use, it is a must-have for any ornithologist or birder visiting the country.
