My family and I were staying at the edge of a sand beach, facing a wide flat in a house charmingly named “Bone Ami.” Sure, I can see most of the birds in the Bahamas while living within Florida, but not in such stunning surroundings! Unlike Sanderlings, their legs were yellow, and they were distinctively a plover species.

Navarro’s exceptional drawings illustrate the species accounts. Forty-eight species. Compare, for example, the species account illustration of the Cuban Trogon with the photo that opens up the introductory chapter. The luxury of space means that each species can be shown from various angles and in distinctive poses.

In spite of this New Zealand does have an iconic family of birds that has served as an emblem for the country for over a century, the kiwi.

Colombia is one of those countries that Dragan’s dreams are made of: it has 1,965 bird species – more than any other country in the world. Among them are 94 endemics and 101 near-endemics, four introduced species and only 42 vagrants. No matter how big your avian-related library is, this would be a terrific addition to it.
