It covers all 564 bird species known to occur in the region (including migrants and infrequently occurring forms). Each species is represented by a full description that includes identification field marks, local names, status, habitat, voice, nesting, range, and comments about the bird. A map showing the bird's distribution accompanies each species account. Plumages of all species are depicted in eighty-six beautifully rendered color plates. Twelve of these plates feature individual endemics from each of twelve islands. Another seven plates feature the island endemics of the largest islands: Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/prin031/97041790.html UR - http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780691087368.pdf UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/prin021/97041790.html ER -
