Field Guide to the Birds of Paraguay
The first ever English language Field Guide to the Birds of Paraguay, covering all 706 species so far reported in Paraguay. This is a 21st Century guide incorporating a number of unique features to enhance its utility in the field. Text is presented opposite the plates for easy cross reference, and short articles cover such fascinating topics as wader migration, seasonality of birds in the Chaco and tips on fine-tuning identification techniques. In addition to the detailled, readable text and high quality illustrations difficult groups are also treated in Quick Identification Tables, which enable the user to rapidly compare all the potential confusion species with the bird they are looking at to reach a speedy and safe ID. Voice descriptions are cross-referenced with the FAUNA Paraguay website and our partner organisation www.xeno-canto.org, the largest collection of downloadable Neotropical bird calls available online. For the first time this book will allow visitors to Paraguay to identify all the birds that they see in the field.
