Message: <blockquote data-quote="njlarsen" data-source="post: 3178258" data-attributes="member: 7427">Several years ago I read comments by a top birder that Tudor was probably the best to paint South America birds that the person had seen. Depending on where you are going, there probably has not yet been better. It is, however, not up to date taxonomically in all cases, a few mentioned subspecies are now full species. Having looked at bit at Ecuador (going there later in the year) the field guides there are not up to Tudors standard. I may not bring it myself (weight limits of luggage), but it is definitely going to get some work once I return home. Niels</blockquote>
