Product Description
Describing all of Colombia’s birds, Steven Hilty and William Brown bring together information on one of the world’s largest avifaunas-nearly 1,700 species.

In my linguistic work with a native people of Colombia I have found Hilty & Brown to be an invaluable resource for my learning of vocabulary and for adding countless items to the dictionary.

I agree with the very positive remarks of other reviewers of “Birds of Columbia” by Hilty & Brown. In my opinion, this book is too heavy to carry into the field. In preparing for an upcoming trip to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, I am going to remove from the book, the pages with the colored illustrations of the birds. These illustrations will be used as an added resource for bird identification. Will also be taking “All the Birds of Brazil” by Deodato Souza which was very helpful on an earlier trip to the Amazon.

I just started birwatching and this book is a must have for every birdwatcher both amateurs and specialists.
The spanish version is very hard to get and probably in the future the Organizacion colombiana de ornitologia will release a revised version of the book.
For the moment this book is a must have!!!
