This Spanish-language edition of the groundbreaking Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba provides all Spanish-speaking visitors to the country and its citizens with an illustrated field guide to the more than 369 bird species of this island nation for the first time. The guide—with its fifty-one color plates, current distribution maps, and comprehensive species descriptions—includes species that are island residents, migrants, and rarities, as well as twenty-six endemics such as the Bee Hummingbird and Cuban Green Woodpecker that can be seen nowhere else. The information provided by the Cuban author team will allow for easy identification of all of Cuba's birds as well as a greater appreciation of the geography and natural history of this unique island country. 02 The first Spanish-language edition of the Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba. 08 "All students of West Indian birds and, especially, all birders visiting Cuba should own this book. Highly recommended."—Cotinga (reviewing the English-language edition) 08 "The guide and its excellent color plates are the product of Cubans, which is unusual and welcome among guides published in the United States. As ecotourism to Cuba evolves, this book will be the choice of birders who visit the island."—Wildlife Activist (reviewing the English-language edition) 08 "As ecotourists return to Cuba to see the country and its plants and animals, they may well wish to take along Orlando Garrido and Arturo Kirkconnell's Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba. Bird descriptions and paintings are useful and often imaginatively helpful."—El Nuevo Herald (reviewing the English-language edition) 04 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100532130/images/80140100532130L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100532130/images/80140100532130S.jpg http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100532130 Comstock Publishing Associates 01 02 2021862 Cornell University Press Ithaca US 04 20110414 06 CU 01 9.25 in 02 6.13 in 08 26 oz 07 2021862 CUP Services http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu 02 CA MX US BV AL AD AM AU AT AZ BY BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT LU UM MT MC ME NL NZ NO PG PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA 02 Y 21 14 01 02 s 35.00 USD 06 5013546051314 NBN International http://www.nbninternational.com 02 BV AL AD AM AT AZ BY BE BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI FR GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT UM MT MD MC ME NL NO PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA AU CA JP MX US NZ PG 02 Y 20 20110414 14 01 02 s 02 21.50 GBP
