Description

Volume I of a comprehensive two-volume identification set – the ultimate guide to birds of the region.

Covering every species, including vagrants, found in Ecuador, Columbia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, the magnificent Birds of Northern South America represents one of the greatest ornithological publications of the 21st century.

In this 'text' volume, more than 2,300 species are described in depth, with discussion of geographical variation, identification, status, habitat, voice and taxonomy. Robin Restall's detailed and comprehensive colour plates along with accurate distribution maps are in the second volume of the set.

This authoritative book is not only an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this region, which is of such importance to both resident species and those which pass through on migration. A landmark publication, Birds of Northern South America remains the standard work on the stunningly diverse birds of the region.
About Clemencia Rodner | Miguel Lentino | Robin Restall
Robin Restall (1937–2023) was a Research Associate at the Colección Ornitológica William H. Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America, which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. He also wrote and illustrated Munias and Mannikins, and contributed to a number of other guides to South American birds. Miguel Lentino is Scientific Director of the Colección Ornitológica William H. Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela. The first president of the Venezuelan Union of Ornithologists between 2006 and 2010, Miguel has coordinated a bird monitoring program in the Henri Pittier National Park, which has operated uninterruptedly since 1990, and culminated in the first ringing manual for Neotropical ornithologists. Clemencia Rodner is an ornithologist and researcher also based at the Colección Ornitológica.
