The definitive field guide to the rich avifauna of Ecuador.

This up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the birds of mainland Ecuador is a valuable resource for anyone exploring the mountains, forests and wetlands of this incredibly bird-rich country. With thousands of beautiful and detailed paintings, accompanied by concise descriptions and accurate maps, this is an indispensable guide to bird identification in Ecuador.

It covers every species and most subspecies recorded in Ecuador, including migrants and vagrants, with accurate and up-to-date distribution maps. There are also 291 colour plates included, which illustrate more than 1,630 species, with text on facing pages for quick and easy reference. Concise text provides an overview of the species' identification, voice, habits, habitats, range, distribution and status.

Juan Freile has been birding throughout Ecuador over the last 20 years, has published more than 80 bird-related papers and books, and works on a wide array of environmental issues.
