With over 900 species and legions of birdwatchers, South Africa supports as many bird guides as does the United States. This classic field guide features hundreds of large color plates, a comprehensive checklist, and revised information on habitats and distribution. Maps, text and illustrations are grouped together for easy reference. This is the book to carry anywhere south of the Zambezi. Fully revised (and with a snazzy new yellow cover), now in its Eighth Edition.  (SAF29, $23.95)
