Bird: The Definitive Visual Guide

'Bird: The Definitive Visual Guide,' the leading photographic encyclopedia of the bird world, has been revised with new species, images and the latest scientific knowledge on all things bird-related. The coffee table book contains stunning nature photography of more than 1,400 birds, breathtakingly portrayed. 

This photographic guide to every bird order and family, unparalleled in scope for a one-volume reference work, profiles more than 1,400 species, photographed in their native environments by photographers from around the world. Authoritative, comprehensive and completely up-to-date, this reference was produced and revised by a team of expert contributors and in collaboration with leading bird authorities Birdlife International and Audubon.

Bird's photographic catalog shows birds from hummingbirds to monkey-eating eagles, each with a photograph, description, three-color distribution map and data file. The catalog is arranged by taxonomic order and includes detailed introductions to each bird order. Perching birds alone, the largest order, occupy 158 pages; and most of their families, such as larks or tanagers, also have their own introductions. Nearly 100 other pages go into vivid detail on bird biology - their flight, anatomy, nutrition, communication, breeding, habitat, migrations, life cycles and the many habitats in which they live. All this, and special information on the world's most impressive bird sites, make this a must-have reference for any bird lover.
