A fully revised and updated second edition of this comprehensive field guide to the birds of Cuba. The largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba contains a vast range of ecosystems, from scrub and grasslands to mountain ranges and coastal mangrove forests. These landscapes are home to a amazing diversity of avifauna, including many endemic and near-endemic and rare species, as well as a large number of migratory birds, making Cuba a highly attractive destination for birders. Revised and updated throughout, this guide includes high-quality colour plates illustrating more than 370 species recorded on the region and 29 extant endemic species, with informative text on facing pages for easy reference. Written by Cuba's two leading ornithologists, the concise species accounts describe key identification features, voice, habitat and behaviour. Fully updated colour distribution maps are included for most species. The definitive field guide to this magical island, Birds of Cuba is an essential companion for any visiting birder or naturalist.
