Looking at more than 900 species, <i>The Australian Bird Guide</i> is the most comprehensive field guide on Australian birds available, and contains by far the best coverage of southern seabirds.

The artwork meets the highest standards, and the text is rigorously accurate and current in terms of identification details, distribution, and status. <i>The Australian Bird Guide</i> 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.<br></p><ul><li>Brand-new guide with an attractive look and design</li><li>249 color plates containing 4,000 superb images by some of the most talented illustrators working in Australia today</li><li>Every bird species in Australia is covered (more than 900), including subspecies and rarities</li><li>Up-to-date maps reflect the latest information on distribution</li><li>Accurate and detailed text</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>"This guide contains lots of great information, which will make field identification of problematic species much easier.
