Birds of Chile

This is a field guide covering all species occurring in the country of

Chile. Chile holds a great diversity of habitat types, from the Andes

in the north down to the tundra and sub-Antarctic rainforest of Tierra

del Fuego in the far south. Chile supports an interesting range of

breeding and visiting birds, including nine species found nowhere else

in the world. This guide features concise, identification-focused text

positioned opposite the colour plates to allow quick and easy

reference. Detailed distribution maps are provided for every species,

completing the essential field guide to the birds of this spectacular

and tourist-friendly country.
