About this title

From the Back Cover:

"This is a significant contribution to the fields of birding and ornithology. Mainly, this book will serve as the first thorough summary of this avian group. It also illustrates all species within one volume, something that has not been done before. No other recent book has such extensive and detailed description of the plumages, moults, and general appearance of the thrushes."--Alvaro Jaramillo, author of New World Blackbirds
