"This is a thoughtfully constructed photographic guide. The photographs look superb and capture the species very well in their natural habitat. The writing is clear and focused, and the essay on habitat and bird distribution succinctly captures the topic, delving into enough detail to keep the reader engaged. Key features are highlighted and other useful tips are included that aid in identification."--Peter Burke, bird-guide illustrator and tour leader with Field Guides Inc.
"Succinct but amazingly informative, this guide reflects the authors' decades of experience with the birds of Chile. The guide is incredibly well illustrated, clearly written, and a pleasure to explore. It will be a very useful tool in the field given its imagery, information, and small size."--Alvaro Jaramillo, author of Birds of Chile
