Reviews:
A major accomplishment--Birder's World
(T)he guide against which all others for the New World tropics will be judged.--Don Stap, Audubon
Rarely in the history of tropical ornithology have so many waited so long and so eagerly for a field guide to appear. . . . The end result of this long process is a spectacular addition to the literature on South American birds. The plates are superb, the guide is easy to use in the field, the range maps are informative and accurate, and the text is concise while still including essential information. --Scott K. Robinson, Auk
