    I really like this guide. I think some folks get caught up in the fact that Vallely & Dyer is "better" as a reference, that covers all the same species roughly as well, and lose track of the fact that Vallely & Dyer is, essentially, too large to carry in the field. However, I also agree it would...

    I've not seen much about this, honestly. I agree that Alvaro's book is excellent and particularly with the thorough taxonomic notes that were included, it's taxonomy is still quite accurate / relevant. There are going to be very few changes of note - some range adjustments in the north, bringing...

    In general I wholly agree. Certainly for a field guide to a region and for passerines, art far surpasses photos. However, I think that for gulls, tubenoses, and perhaps raptors, where ID can be so complex, I do quite like the best of the photographic guides (particularly Howell & Zufelt's new...

    Excellent news - I knew that it was in progress and I had heard that it was "nearing completion" but this will be fantastic. The combination of Howell & Zufelt's photo-ID guide with a completely new, modern Harrison guide will really mark a new era in seabirding!

    A post on FB today in a roundabout way intimated that Pearman/Areta’s guide to Argentina is going to press. The details of the original post don’t matter but does anyone else have more information or can anyone confirm?

    While speaking of Brazil books has anyone heard more about Bret Whitney’s Brazil book? I’ve not heard much about it in some time.

    Indeed it will be excellent to finally see this work finished. Can you provide any more information about the final format - one volume or two?

    My understanding is that it should include all or at least most birds of the world, including most/all mega rarities / little known species, though I've not seen it. Hopefully there will be multiple high quality photos of these species, and good text to accompany. Also looking forward to...

    As well it would be lovely to see volumes 3-5 of the Wildlife Conservation Society guides come to fruition but the rumors I've heard suggest they won't. Certainly the Amazonian volume would require a lot of work given the number of new species and taxonomic changes since Ridgely and Tudor...

    I don't know where I first heard about it but it's been in the works for a long time. I hadn't heard anything about it in years and was wondering if the effort were still underway, which it thankfully appears to be. Here's a 2009 page that describes the project, and references it already having...

    Perhaps more exciting to anyone neotropic focused, like me, is that they confirmed that Bret Whitney's Brazil guide, potentially a three volume effort, is advancing. They didn't provide any details but I poked them a bit to see if they can reveal more.
