Birds are a prominent feature of the Northern Territory environment, with almost half of Australia's bird species found there in landscapes ranging from deserts to tropics. This is a guide to the Northern Territory's best birdwatching areas. It is designed to be used in conjunction with one of the Australian field identification guides. The book has four main sections: habitats; areas; special birds; and a checklist. The text does not discuss every bird likely to be found in every area, instead it points out interesting species found at each site. In addition, the guide provides information on access, accommodation and camping in the area. It contains detailed information on 69 of the Territory's rare, endemic and other special birds and gives scientific and common names for Australian birds.
