The definitive guide to the rich avifauna of Trinidad and Tobago

The tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago enjoy a rich diversity of bird species, including visitors from the nearby mainland and others traversing the migratory flyway to and from North America.

This comprehensive field guide covers every species known to occur on the islands. Concise descriptions of every species highlighting plumage variation and distinctions from similar species are accompanied by 115 superb colour plates, illustrating all the relevant plumages of more than 480 species. Also included is up-to-date information on where to watch birds in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as an overview of the geography, climate and habitats of the islands.

Portable and pocket-friendly yet authoritative and comprehensive, this field guide is essential for birders visiting or living on these magical Caribbean islands.
