Series: Helm Wildlife Guides

The birdlife of the Lesser Antilles – the arc of islands running from Jamaica south to the South American mainland, incorporating the nations of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago, along with numerous dependencies – is the focus of this comprehensive yet portable new field guide. The islands are rich in birdlife and hold more than 40 endemic species, along with numerous range-restricted species, though each island’s avifauna is unique. It is a magical region for a travelling naturalist to explore, with endemic parrots, orioles, pigeons, warblers and more.

This guide is the perfect companion for any wildlife-savvy visitor to the islands, especially those on multi-island trips. It includes superb photography of more than 300 commonly encountered species across the islands, including all endemics and with many subspecies included. Concise text accompanies the photos to guide identification.

Reviews for Birds of the Lesser Antilles

If you are planning a trip to any of these remarkable small islands, whether for a holiday or any other reason, you just have to pack this highly portable guide in your bag! * BirdsCaribbean * It covers a mix of residents and regular migrants, and the focus is rightly on commoner birds more likely to be encountered, but this is enhanced by an understandable celebration of a few regional stars .... For holidaymakers with an interest in birds, for birdwatching holidaymakers, and for more serious birders who might fancy a photographic complement to artwork-based field guides, this book represents a good buy. * Neotropical Birding *
