A compact, richly illustrated photographic field guide to all of the birds of Galpagos, from renowned photographer and writer Tui De Roy

A lifelong resident of Galpagos, Tui De Roy has been observing, studying, and photographing the islands' astonishing birdlife for sixty years. In A Pocket Guide to Birds of Galpagos, she distills everything she has learned to create a one-of-a-kind field guide that every birder visiting the archipelago will want to carry with them wherever they go.

A compact yet comprehensive combination of field guide and natural history, the book features more than 600 of De Roy's superb photographs and is packed with detailed, easy-to-access information in bullet-point format. Every resident bird species is fully described and abundantly illustrated, showing different aspects of their life cycle, habitat, and behavior. And the islands' most iconic bird group-Darwin's Finches-is given special attention. With precise descriptions including plumage and beak variations, the book corrects many common identification errors about this group.

Unique in design and content, A Pocket Guide to Birds of Galpagos is a must-have for all wildlife enthusiasts traveling to this fabled archipelago-and anyone who wants to better understand its spectacular birds.
