Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba

Arturo Kirkconnell, Orlando H. Garrido

This fully updated second edition of Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba offers a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to the identification of the more than 370 recorded species and 29 extant endemic species in the country. It incorporates changes to the composition of the avifauna of Cuba while remaining an accessible introduction to Cuban birds-including the irresistible Cuban Tody, the dazzling Cuban Trogon, and the diminutive Bee Hummingbird-the smallest species of bird in the world.

  • All new design features 95 color plates and more than 700 images, depicting male, female and, when relevant, juvenile plumages.

  • Species accounts include range maps, detailed descriptions, distinguishing characteristics, a list of habitats where the bird is found, behaviors, and vocalizations.

  • Winter and breeding plumages are included for migratory species-extremely useful for identifying the large number of birds that migrate south from North America.

A definitive guide from the country's best birders, Arturo Kirkconnell and Orlando H. Garrido, Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba presents a wealth of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime of work.
