WITH so much of northern South America still uncharted, ornithologists have long required an unequivocal identification guide for the region鈥檚 feathered fauna. These two volumes provide a fine distillation of experience and fact. One is dedicated to field-savvy descriptions, while the other contains maps and illustrations for the area鈥檚 2300-plus bird species. I can attest that the guide performed wonderfully in Brazil鈥檚 Ja煤 National Park. It should become as essential as binoculars for anyone who studies birds in the region.
