The islands of the Philippines hold birds found nowhere else, and this manual names them all. Richard McGregor works order by order through megapodes, painted quail, pheasants, doves, and rails, mapping the archipelago's rich avifauna. A definitive field reference from the age of tropical survey. The essential key to the birds of the Philippine islands.

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.
