Zusatztext A fabulous and essential resource for enthusiasts of the region's birds at all levels! ranging from the armchair aficionado to the diehard birder to the sophisticated ornithologist. Informationen zum Autor Bart de Boer is a Dutch ornithologist and co-author of Birds of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire . He previously wrote a photographic guide to the birds of the Netherlands Antilles. Eric Newton is an ornithologist based on Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean. Robin Restall (1937–2023) was an author and illustrator. Originally a draughtsman, Robin’s development as an ornithology artist began with his love of cagebirds, which led to his first book, Munias and Mannikins (1996). He became a Research Associate at the Phelp Ornithological Collection in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America , which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. Published in 2006, this book remains a magnificent testament to Robin’s powers of observation and illustration. It went on to provide the basis for several other field guides, notably to Ecuador and Venezuela, both of which remain the standard works.
