A Guide to the Birds of Nepal. Second Edition

For this edition (first in 1985), the authors have included considerable new information on the distribution and status of Nepal's 836 bird species. Valuable information is given on breeding, habitat, behavior, and range within the Indian subcontinent with emphasis on the Himalayas. The 703 distribution maps cover all but the rarer and more localized birds. In addition, data are presented on those species whose breeding behavior is little known. The detailed section on identification of difficult species, which includes color plates, is of particular value. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
