Title: A Photographic Guide to the Birds of the West Indies
Author: G. Michael Flieg & Allan Sander
Publisher: New Holland
Year: 2000
144 pages
The New Holland series of bird identification guides is uneven, but this is the best I've read so far. The photos are clear and the selection is good for common birds of the region. What distinguishes this volume is the descriptions of birds' feeding habits and other behaviors that allow for better identification. On a recent trip to the Caribbean, I was able to identify firm or con54 species, including the very weird brown trembler, using this comparatively small field guide.
