This compact, incisive photographic identification guide to 280 bird species in Egypt and the Middle East shows the region’s most commonly seen, unique, and endemic species, and is perfect for resident and visitor alike. Each bird species is illustrated with a high-quality full-color photograph, accompanied by a detailed description, which includes nomenclature, size, distribution, habits, and habitat. The user-friendly introduction covers biogeography, migration, bird topography, and a glossary. Also included is an all-important checklist of all of the birds of Egypt encompassing, for each species, its common and scientific name as well as its status in each country and its global International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status.
"Impressively informative and thoroughly 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, The Birds of Egypt and the Middle East is an ideal reference for on-site bird watcher observation— and an unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Ornithological Identification & Reference collections."—Midwest Book Review
