Description

Birds of Southern Africa surpasses other field guides to the region by illustrating and describing all 1,250 bird species of South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.

In addition, this is the only guide to illustrate the birds of Angola (including Cabinda), whose river basins and rocky hillsides are home to the striking White-headed Robin Chat and the Angolan Cave Chat.

The 84 color plates group similar species and subspecies and also depict vagrants and ocean wanderers that appear in this huge region characterized by widely varying habitats, from woodlands and forests to deserts to swamps.

The text directly opposite the plates concisely describes each bird's habitat and key physical, behavioral, and vocal characteristics.

All the larks are shown perching as well as in flight, and every swallow is pictured in flight from below.

The most distinctive immature and nonbreeding plumages are included, and distribution maps show the range and frequency of each species.
