HI:
I just saw that this title is now avaialble in the USA:
Birds of South America: Non-Passerines: Rheas to Woodpeckers. Francisco Erize, Jorge R. Rodriguez Mata, and Maurice Rumboll. Princeton University Press, 2006. A concise guide to the nearly 1300 species of non-passerines. Color plates, range maps. 376 pp. Paper. $29.95.
Has anyone seen it yet? If so what do you think of it? I'm not a fan of this series of "illustrated checklists" from Princeton/Helm, so is this title any better than the earlier volumes in the series?
