A comprehensive guide to the birds of Macaronesia.
Macaronesia, which comprises the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores and Cape Verde, are home to a remarkably avifuna, one that includes endemic species such as the Azores Bullfinch and Blue Chaffinch, a host of endemic races, most of which have small and vulnerable ranges, and some species that are very difficult or impossible to see anywhere else, such as Houbara. Add in the fact that the Azores in particular punches way above its weight in terms of extremely scarce vagrants, especially Nearctic passerines, and you have a region that is a must-visit for any birder or world-lister.
Birds of the Atlantic Islands covers all resident, migrant and vagrant species found in Macaronesia, more than 450 species in all. The plates feature illustrations that include all plumages and major races likely to be encountered. Concise species accounts cover bird identification, status, range, distribution and voice. The introductory sections covers climate, geography and ornithological history of the islands, as well as practical guidance on the best birdwatching localities.
This authoritative book is an indispensable guide for any birder these jewels of the Atlantic.
