La riqueza y diversidad de las aves de Cuba comprende 369 especies registradas, representantes de 20 órdenes y 63 familias, con 26 especies endémicas que incluyen a la encantadora Pedorrera, al llamativo y elegante Tocororo (ave nacional), el colorido Carpintero Verde y el ave mas pequena del mundo, el Zunzuncito. Esta compacta guia de referencia contiene 51 laminas a todo color y 662 imagenes que ilustran los plumajes del macho, la hembra y el juvenil (en algunos casos por primera vez). Muchas especies migratorias son ilustradas con los colores durante la epoca invernal (no reproductiva) o plumaje de verano (reproductiva). Estas imagenes nos proporcionan un panorama de las aves de Norteamerica, tal como aparecen en sus cuarteles invernales.
En la portada del libro se ilustran seis de las especies endémicas de Cuba, que incluyen al Tocororo (extremo superior derecho), debajo de este la Pedorrera y a su izquierda y en vuelo, el Zunzuncito. A continuación y por debajo de estos el Siju Plantanero ocupa el centro, que tiene a su izquierda al Tomeguin del Pinar. En el extremo inferior izquierdo el Pechero y en el derecho, la Paloma Perdiz.
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, and its large number of endemic bird species makes it an interesting and increasingly popular destination for birders as tourism expands. This Spanish-language edition of the groundbreaking Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba provides all Spanish-speaking visitors to the country and its citizens with an illustrated field guide to the more than 369 bird species of this island nation for the first time. The guide—with its fifty-one color plates, current distribution maps, and comprehensive species descriptions—includes species that are island residents, migrants, and rarities, as well as twenty-six endemics such as the Bee Hummingbird and Cuban Green Woodpecker that can be seen nowhere else. The information provided by the Cuban author team will allow for easy identification of all of Cuba’s birds as well as a greater appreciation of the geography and natural history of this unique island country.
