A unique field guide and reference, Where to Watch Birds in South
America is designed to help the avid birder and the general
wildlife enthusiast organize eventful journeys throughout the
richest continent for birds, where the species number over three
thousand. This book covers more than two hundred of the best sites
for birdwatching, and includes the archipelagos of Trinidad and
Tobago, the Galapagos and Falkland Islands, the Netherland
Antilles, and part of Antarctica. The reader will find details of
every species that is endemic to particular countries, and will
learn where and when best to see such birds as the scarlet ibis,
Andean condor, harpy eagle, sunbittern, macaw, toucan, jacamar,
antbird, and cotinga. The text is enhanced by nearly one hundred
maps and fifty line drawings. There are even hints as to where
species not seen for decades may be rediscovered. This guide begins
with an introduction to the continent and its birds then deals with
particular countries and archipelagos. The site details include
bird lists, a list of other wildlife present, and the latest advice
on where to look for birds. For the traveler, there is information
on transport, accommodations, safety, and health, and answers to
various strategic questions: Which countries support the most
species? How many sites must be visited to see most of them? How
long does this take? When is the best time to go? Whether a
first-time visitor to South America or a seasoned traveler there,
the reader will find this guide immensely useful in making the most
out of the trip. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
