The second edition of Birds of India
With so many species covered, Birds of India
The introduction is one of the best and covers expected topics from habitat to conservation. But what I love most is the breakdown of all the families found in this region.
This is the perfect overview for birders new to the area and should really be included in all field guides!
Some of the color plates are a bit crowded but provide an excellent space to quickly compare similar birds. There are 226 plates in all, 73 which are new.
The range maps are small but colored to indicate seasonality. The text is concise but contains a lot of information on identification, voice and habitat
The Indian Subcontinent is a region of great interest to traveling birders and this is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to visit there. It is still my dream to visit Bhutan, one of the most natural countries in the world.
