Synopsis

The definitive guide to the rich avifauna of Trinidad and Tobago

The tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago enjoy a rich diversity of bird species, including visitors from the nearby mainland and others traversing the migratory flyway to and from North America. The resident landbirds include several endemic races, and two full species, including one of the true stars of Caribbean birding, the endangered Trinidad Piping Guan.

This comprehensive field guide covers every species known to occur on the islands. Concise descriptions of every species highlighting plumage variation and distinctions from similar species are accompanied by 115 superb colour plates, illustrating all the relevant plumages of more than 480 species. Also included is up-to-date information on where to watch birds in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as an overview of the geography, climate and habitats of the islands.

Portable and pocket-friendly yet authoritative and comprehensive, this field guide is essential for birders visiting or living on these magical Caribbean islands.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Martyn Kenefick lives in Trinidad, where he is an ornithologist and birdwatching guide. Martyn is the Honorary Secretary of the Trinidad and Tobago Rare Birds Committee. He has co-written three editions of the Helm field guide Birds of Trinidad and Tobago.

Robin Restall (1937-2023) was an author and illustrator. Originally a draughtsman, Robin's development as an ornithology artist began with his love of cagebirds, which led to his first book, Munias and Mannikins (1996). He became a Research Associate at the Phelp Ornithological Collection in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America, which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. Published in 2006, this book remains a magnificent testament to Robin's powers of observation and illustration. It went on to provide the basis for several other field guides, notably to Ecuador and Venezuela, both of which remain the standard works.
