Features more than 580 superb color photographs depicting every species and many subspecies, including numerous images never before published... A must have for those with any interest in nightjars! Tropical birders will also find it useful. -- Ian Paulsen Birdbooker Report Reading this book was like taking a semester long ornithology course on the greater goatsucker order of birds. I really enjoyed learning the biology. This will be the world's go-to reference book for all things nightjar. Idaho Birding Blog The best bird book I've seen all year... This book is a comprehensive photographic guide (check out the crazy variations these birds come in), but also gives information about this poorly understood group of birds in an easy to read fashion... This book will appeal to hardcore and intermediate birders alike because this is a fascinating family of birds to study and the photos are incredible. -- Sharon Stiteler Birdchick.com Nightjars of the World offers us a rare, detailed look at some of the most elusive nocturnal birds of the world. For those, like me, who can't get enough of birding, Nightjars of the World will be revisited over and over on those rainy or snowy days when outdoor birding is not feasible. -- Brad Sylvester Birdwatching Examiner
