Southern Africa is becoming an increasingly popular destination for people who want to see first-hand the abundant wildlife of this vast continent. Birds of Southern Africa is the first field guide to illustrate and describe every species of bird-males, females, and juveniles-found in the Republic of South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Angola. With entries on more than 1,250 species, the text details habitat, key identification features, and notes on the songs and calls of each species. The 84 color plates appear opposite their relevant text for quick and easy reference, and distribution maps are included for each species so that identification can be further clarified. Comprehensive and easy to use, this is a must for all birdwatchers visiting the region.

Ber van Perlo has been traveling and living in Africa, mainly in Kenya, since his retirement from the Dutch National Forest Service in 1981. He has illustrated three bird guides: Megapodes, by Rene Dekker; Rails: A Guide to the Rails, Crakes, Gallinules and Coots of the World, by Barry Taylor; and A Field Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent, by Krys Kazmierczak. --Ce texte fait référence à lédition Broché .
