Fieldbook of the Birds of Ecuador is the first book to cover both Ecuador and the Galapagos islands, and includes 50 mainland species not included in previous guides for Ecuador.

Plates are arranged to show illustrations, maps, text, field notes as well as information on endemism and threat status in a single information cell. Emphasis is place on quick comparison of species in the field, with notes focusing on those features most useful in identification. The format is designed with outdoor use in mind. The maps show the distribution in Ecuador, while information on the Galapagos is given as a bird list in an appendix at the end of the book.

Fieldbook of the Birds of Ecuador is designed to have a broad appeal among both serious birders and beginners and dabblers, and so increase awareness of the birds of this accessible country. A percentage of the proceeds from the of this book will go toward conservation efforts in Ecuador. Foreword By Robert S Ridgely.
