Review: The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia

User Review  - Sheri Fresonke Harper - Goodreads

Huge size and weight of this definitive book on bird identification in Australia makes it somewhat difficult to use in the field or carry in your luggage to Australia. However, every bird is richly described, beautifully illustrated. Definitely a work of art and research worth having. Read full review
