Overview

The twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago combines representative South American bird families, as well as the characteristic endemism of tropical islands, making it a uniquely engaging place to observe and learn about avian life. Motmots--including the endemic Trinidad Motmot--manakins, antbirds, ovenbirds, woodcreepers, toucans, and numerous hummingbirds are joined by migratory songbirds during the winter. The iconic Scarlet Ibis is a standout among the many wetland birds common in places like the world-renowned Asa Wright Nature Centre. To help you sift through the nearly 500 birds that have been recorded in ""T & T,"" we have created this beautifully illustrated resource. Featuring 140 familiar species, it includes an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge a deeper connection with Trinidad and Tobago's fascinating birds. Made in the USA.
