In recent years, there have been major revisions of the avian taxonomy of South America, and many new species have been added. This important checklist, which recognizes 2,244 species, is the most up-to-date checklist of the birds of the region.
Each species is numbered, and the numbers correspond to those used in the Field Guide to the Birds of Northern South America by the same authors. All subspecies occurring in northern South America are listed, together with brief information on range and altitude, and all taxonomic revisions are fully referenced. The book will be an invaluable tool to birders and scientists alike.
