Birds of the Horn of Africa: Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, and Socotra.
[摘要] On the cover of
Birds of the Horn of Africa, Stresemann's Bush Crow (
Zavattariornis stresemanni)—one of Ethiopia's localized and unique endemics—invites any traveler to the Horn of Africa, whether amateur or professional, to enjoy this essential title. (See the cover of the recent field guide,
Birds of Africa South of the Sahara [
Sinclair and Ryan 2003], for another unique endemic bird species: the rare, colorful, and localized Prince Ruspoli's Turaco [
Tauraco ruspolii] of southern Ethiopia.)
Birds of the Horn of Africa is a field guide of the highest quality and meets the long-time need to consolidate all species of this region in an easy-to-use volume. Field worthy and indispensable as an identification and learning tool, it is recommended without qualification as a remarkable and essential addition to the libraries of professional ornithologists, birders, and everyone who studies African birds.
