Our Opinion: Although a hardcover, this book is still lightweight and compact. Distribution maps are included opposite the plates for all residents, summer visitors, winter breeders, introduced species, passage migrants and winter visitors. The paintings are by a large number of artists, which makes the artwork overall a bit uneven, but they are almost all spectacularly executed. Includes a complete checklist by island with status, references, and index to English and scientific names.
