The Australian avifauna is large, diverse, and spectacular, reflecting the continent's impressive habitats and evolutionary history. Looking at more than 900 species, The Australian Bird Guide is the most comprehensive field guide on Australian birds available, and contains by far the best coverage of southern seabirds. With 249 color plates containing 4,000 stunning images, this book offers a far more in-depth treatment of subspecies, rarities, and overall plumage variation than comparative guides. The artwork meets the highest standards, and the text is rigorously accurate and current in terms of identification details, distribution, and status. The Australian Bird Guide sets a new bar for coverage of Australia's remarkable avifauna and is indispensable to all birders and naturalists interested in this area of the world, including the southern oceans.

From the Back Cover
"This guide contains lots of great information, which will make field identification of problematic species much easier. Clearly, the authors and artists know their subjects well. Given its comprehensive coverage of all species, the book will get wide usage among visitors and resident birders."--Iain Campbell, coauthor of Birds of Australia: A Photographic Guide
