Birding Around the World: A Guide to Observing Birds Everywhere You Travel

Very Good used paperback. Some shelf wear.

World birding is an exciting new aspect of a popular backyard hobby, and world traveler Aileen R. Lotz has written a guidebook for birders who would go to where exotic species populate the skies, rustle the trees, and charm the weary traveler. This illustrated guide covers all seven continents, islands galore, and the oceans. It is a common-sense but fun book, designed for the curious, nature-loving travelers and for birders and sophisticated travelers who seek knowledge on and off the beaten track. Packed with practical tips and many helpful references, this book discusses the advisability of learning the Latin names of species and families, and of picking up birder's tantalizing jargon. The author tells the reader how to get to the best places for birding. No matter what your destination, this is the one book you'll want to pack along with your passport and binoculars.
