This book is the first to illustrate with color photographs all of Puerto Rico’s breeding birds and common migrants. Over 300 color photos of 181 species of Puerto Rican birds appear in this publication. The English-language text is designed for tourists, students, teachers, and anyone who wants to understand Puerto Rico's natural heritage by learning about its fascinating birds. The species' life histories are written in a non-technical style for the general reader, and include important lessons for conservation of our natural resources. Most common birds of the Virgin Islands and northern Lesser Antilles are also illustrated.
The book comes with a CD-ROM with detailed Spanish and English life history accounts and bibliography for 350 species, plus audio clips and over 1,250 photos. The CD-ROM is written in HTML, which is easy to read without special installation on a PC or Macintosh, and makes files accessible for student projects in biology, geography, music and art. Over 80 professional and amateur ornithologists from Puerto Rico and the mainland USA collaborated in this effort.
