50 Top Birding Sites in Kenya review

10,000 Birds

While Kenya’s spectacular birds are mentioned in them, they are not dealt in detail and this portable edition fills that gap successfully. Finally, checking the Internet for any similar editions, the only one that jumped out was Raymond David Moore’s Where to Watch Birds in Kenya, originally published in 1982.

Our Favorite Bird Books (and one pair of Binoculars) of 2022

10,000 Birds

[Mark]: This luscious book, Penguins: The Ultimate Guide , by De Roy, Jones, and Cornthwaite, is the second edition of a book first published in 2015.

Birding Inirida, Colombia: practicalities, part 3

10,000 Birds

Field guides As far as I have noticed, the entire group (including me) was using the latest Lynx edition of Hilty’s Birds of Colombia. Yet, our local guide Daniel Camilo preferred some older but more portable edition. I didn’t get it either. But travelling in the time of Covid puts you in strange situations.
