Product Details
This unique and spectacular handbook is the most complete and comprehensive photographic guide to the passerines of the Western Palearctic. Written by two of the world's most respected ornithologists, Hadoram Shirihai and Lars Svensson, the Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds contains the most up-to-date information available on bird identification covering all aspects of plumage, molt, aging and sexing, with sections on voice and other identification criteria, and detailed taxonomic notes.
The handbook is divided into two volumes, with the first covering larks, hirundines, pipits and wagtails, bulbuls, accentors, robins, chats, wheatears, thrushes, prinias and cisticolas, and warblers, and the second covering flycatchers, reedlings, tits, nuthatches, orioles and sunbirds, shrikes, corvids, finches, and buntings, along with extreme vagrants.
The exceptional text is backed up by a stunning collection of more than 4,000 photographs, featuring a comprehensive range of plumages that illustrate every race and morph of each species in the region.
This stunning handbook will be the definitive reference for the region for years to come--no birder's shelf will be complete without it.
Our Opinion: Coverage of Europe, Asia Minor, the Middle East and North Africa. The western border is the Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains. The eastern border includes Iceland, Svalbard, the Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cape Verde.
