Birds of Southern Africa surpasses other field guides to the region
by illustrating and describing all 1,250 bird species of South
Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana,
Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. In addition, this is the only guide to
illustrate the birds of Angola (including Cabinda), whose river
basins and rocky hillsides are home to the striking White-headed
Robin Chat and the Angolan Cave Chat. The 84 color plates group
similar species and subspecies and also depict vagrants and ocean
wanderers that appear in this huge region characterized by widely
varying habitats, from woodlands and forests to deserts to swamps.
The text directly opposite the plates concisely describes each
bird's habitat and key physical, behavioral, and vocal
characteristics. All the larks are shown perching as well as in
flight, and every swallow is pictured in flight from below. The
most distinctive immature and nonbreeding plumages are included,
and distribution maps show the range and frequency of each species.
This is an essential guide for any birder contemplating a trip to
southern Africa. * The only field guide to illustrate every bird
