GALAPAGOS BIRDWATCHING: PHOTOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION
Galapagos Birdwatching is not only for serious birders but for anyone that want to know more about the birds seen on the islands.
All the residents are described, as well as migrants, and vagrants. Introduced and cultivated species are mentioned, even hypothetical species.
Looking for birds is made easy with a list of all the species seen in the regular visitor sites of Galapagos.
All birds are separated in seabirds, water- & shorebirds and landbirds; further into common = the residents; uncommon = the migrants and rare = the vagrants.
In each field, identification can be done with the help of photographs, chosen to point out the distinctive features of a bird.
Once identification is accomplished a description page with information on “Scientific Classification”; “English and Spanish names”; “General Description”, “Notes”, “Where to be found” and “IUCN Status” opens up. All this information detailed and updated.
Translations from English names to Dutch, French and German are provided, as well as a Glossary.
A book of interest for anyone preparing a trip to the islands or used as a field guide for visitors.
