The most up to date guide available to East Asia!
Facilitate the field identification with this book, covering the eastern Asia region and the major islands off the continental coast. The bordering areas to the continent – from Kamchatka in the north, including the Korean Peninsula- are an important region of endemism. Birds of this region include many of the major families, from the world’s largest eagle -Steller’s Sea Eagle- to the tiny Formosan Firecrest. The East Asian continental coast and the offshore islands form one of the world’s major international bird migration routes, especially for waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors, while the east Asian continental mainland itself is home to a wide range of species little known to western ornithologists, such as Oriental Stork and Mugimaki flycatcher. Extensive, excellent colour-plates throughout. Distribution maps enhance the text by providing a visual analysis of the summer, winter and migratory ranges of all species.
