Product Review
Choice : The 200 colored plates are superb and carefully give attention to the natural variations of plumages with age, sex, and seasons. It is certainly the most comprehensive set of illustrations of South African birds in one volume.
Product Review
Dale A. Zimmerman, Western New Mexico University : Presents a comprehensive set of illustrations unmatched not only for the region covered but for any part of Africa.
Reader Reviews
Warning: using this field guide will make you dissatisfied with many other field guides. You will enjoy studying and using this guide. The illustrations are large and detailed, distinctly more accurate than most guides. In addition most are just beautiful works. They are grouped in species settings with juveniles, alternate plumage, flight and significant field marks highlighted. On the opposite page: written description, habitat, abundancy status and call descriptions with a range map plus the Afrikaans name. As an example of the illustrations: the Laughing Dove is illustrated by two flight poses and a profile. The profile has arrows noting 'no hind collar', 'cinnamon back' and 'black-flecked necklace'. The written text notes marks that distinguish this bird from a Cape Turtle-Dove. The cover is plastic coated and the pages have a lesser water resistant coating. A lot of attention to detail went into creating this book --colored coded page edges according to bird group, groups of waterbirds and hawks in flight for comparison, a checklist near the index and internet addresses of birding resources in the area. All this in a work that I carried in a large pants pocket every day. It just makes me wish such books were available for many more areas.
