Hand Guide to the Birds of New Zealand

This is a more portable, updated edition of the original Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand. The original edition was published in two parts; the first containing an identification guide with color plates and distribution maps, the second giving more detailed information on the biology and ecology of the species described. The current book combines the two sections into one book of plates, maps, short descriptions, introduction and a section on where to find the birds. It is a smaller, more manageable guide - perfect for field work and birding for pleasure.Barrie Heather is the author of 'Hand Guide to the Birds of New Zealand', published 2001 under ISBN 9780198508311 and ISBN 019850831X.
