This is the first single volume guide ever devoted to the eastern
Asian avifauna. The eastern Asian region, centering especially on
the major islands off the continental coast (including Japan and
Taiwan) and the immediately adjacent areas of the Asian continent
from Kamchatka in the north and including the Korean Peninsula are
an important centre of endemism. Birds endemic to this region
include representatives of many of the major families, from the
world's largest eagle - Steller's Sea Eagle - to the tiny Taiwan
Firecrest. The east Asian continental coast and the offshore
islands also form one of the world's major international bird
migration routes, especially for waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors,
while the east Asian continental mainland itself is home to a wide
range of species little known to western ornithologists such as
Scaly-sided Merganser, Oriental Stork and Mugimaki Flycatcher. The
guide features the most up-to-date text available, which, in
conjunction with extensive colour plates throughout, facilitates
the field identification of all of the species known from the
region. Colour distribution maps enhance the text by providing a
visual analysis of the summer, winter and migratory ranges of all
species.
