Product Description
Product Description
This book is devoted to the 162 species of thrush, one of the most widespread and well-known families of birds in the world. Identification and distribution are fully covered and the description makes reference to all recognised races. All species of Turdidae thrushes are described and illustrated together with supplementary line drawings depicting aspects of shape an plumage. It contains 540 portraits illustrating adults, immatures and most of the distinctive races."
From the Inside Flap
"This is a significant contribution to the fields of birding and ornithology. Mainly, this book will serve as the first thorough summary of this avian group. It also illustrates all species within one volume, something that has not been done before. No other recent book has such extensive and detailed description of the plumages, moults, and general appearance of the thrushes."--Alvaro Jaramillo, author of New World Blackbirds

Format:Hardcover
This book makes it clear it only covers the Turdinae, the true thrushes and thus ignores chats, robins and magpie robins. It is well written and illustrated. I just hope there was more information about where the rest of the genera considered as Thrushes should be allocated and someone will cover these so called Saxicolids soon.
Good for a collector of bird books and researchers in a growing series of similar books though not all are of this same standard.
