Argentine Ornithology, Volume 1 (of 2)
Philip Lutley Sclater and William Henry Hudson
The pampas and forests of Argentina ring with birdsong few Europeans had described. Philip Sclater's first volume opens the passerines: the thrushes, dippers, flycatchers, and their kin, each set down with range and habit from Hudson's own field notes. A landmark of South American ornithology. Meet the songbirds of the Argentine plains.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
