This is the completely revised edition of the essential field guide to the birds of New Guinea. The world's largest tropical island, New Guinea boasts a spectacular avifauna characterized by cassowaries, megapodes, pigeons, parrots, cuckoos, kingfishers, and owlet-nightjars, as well as an exceptionally diverse assemblage of songbirds such as the iconic birds of paradise and bowerbirds. Birds of New Guinea is the only guide to cover all 780 bird species reported in the area, including 366 endemics. Expanding its coverage with 111 vibrant color plates--twice as many as the first edition--and the addition of 635 range maps, the book also contains updated species accounts with new information about identification, voice, habits, and range. A must-have for everyone from ecotourists to field researchers, Birds of New Guinea remains an indispensable guide to the diverse birds of this remarkable region.*780 bird species, including 366 found nowhere else*111 stunning color plates, twice the number of the first edition* Expanded and updated species accounts provide details on identification, voice, habits, and range*635 range maps* Revised classification of birds reflects the latest research

A state-of-the-art migratory atlas of North American birds—the first resource of its kindMore than 70 percent of North American bird species are migratory, traveling annually between separate breeding and nonbreeding areas. While we know the overall ranges of species, we have lacked an understanding of where specific populations move to across seasons and regions—but these limitations are rapidly disappearing. Thanks to the contributions of thousands of bird banders and researchers over the past century and recent efforts to develop and deploy ever smaller tracking devices, it is now possible to map where different breeding populations migrate and spend the nonbreeding season. The Atlas of North America’s Migratory Birds brings these findings together in one place, presenting a treasure trove of data for hundreds of species along with detailed range maps derived from eBird data for each species.Covers nearly 600 speciesCompiles diverse data types from thousands of contributorsBrings together banding data collected over the past century with information gathered using the latest tracking technology, stable isotopes, and genetic toolsFeatures eBird maps for every species, published here for the first timeAn essential and definitive resource for ornithologists, conservationists, and birdwatchers
