Beginning with an overview of the natural habitats of Madagascar, this book then provides a general introduction to the avifauna. The endemic and endangered species are highlighted for each geographical region of the country. Seventeen prime bird observation sites are described in a section especially helpful to visitors to Madagascar. Forty watercolor illustrations provide clear and easy identification of all the Malagasy birds. The detailed species accounts are the heart of the book, with full information on each species: descriptions of adults and immatures; song; habitat and dietary requirements; nesting habits; and distribution and status. The final section includes descriptions of birds not yet reported, but likely to occur there, as well as distribution maps.
