Field Guide To The Birds Of India

This book is an up-to-date, authoritative, field guide to the birds of India. It covers all of the 1,300 species of birds found in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, and will be an essential companion for anyone traveling to these countries.

The text gives concise information on field identification (including voice) and provides details on habitat, altitudinal range, and status. A color distribution map is also given for every species. The 96 plates illustrate all 2,300 species recorded in the region (including a few extralimital birds which may in future occur). Female plumages are included if different from the males, and some juvenile plumages and distinct races are also shown where relevant.
