A Photographic Guide to the Birds of the Cayman Islands

Autor Patricia E. Bradley, Yves-Jacques Rey-Millet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2020
Containing hundreds of stunning photographs by Yves-Jacques Rey-Millet, A Photographic Guide to the Birds of the Cayman Islands provides full photographic coverage of every species on the Cayman Islands list.With a rich avifauna of more than 300 species, the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac - form an increasingly popular birding destination.Although the islands' sole endemic species, Cayman Islands Thrush, was extinct by the 1940s, the islands have a healthy crop of regional scarcities and are an important migrant stopping point as they cross the Caribbean.Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution. This guide is an essential companion for anyone visiting these beautiful islands.

Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution. This guide is an essential companion for anyone visiting these beautiful islands.
...excellent and tempting guide which should be one of the items included in the luggage of the biologically curious visitor to the Cayman Islands.
...outstanding...I cannot imagine a better book to take if one is visiting the Cayman Islands to go birding. The photographs are some of the best I've ever seen, perfectly complemented by the informative text
...thorough...The photographs are superb. ...I would certainly recommend it.
