Confusing Birds: 193 Look-Alike Species

by Kenneth Newman, David R. Johnson

Can you tell a Cut-throat Finch from a Red-headed Finch? a Greater Blue-eared Glossy Starling from a Lesser Blue-eared Glossy Starling? For experienced birdwatchers or frustrated beginners, this book makes identification of easily confused species a simple and painless process. Confusing Species profiles 99 similar-looking groups of birds from all over Southern Africa. Species are illustrated first with color paintings and then with simplified black and white drawings that highlight the differences and ignore similarities. All birds are cross-referenced to descriptions in the companion book, Newman's Birds of Southern Africa.
