The
Book of Indian Birds
Salim Ali et al
For nearly 50 years The Book of Indian Birds has been a close
companion of both amateur bird-watching enthusiasts and seasoned ornithologists
in India. This twelfth edition is revised, but retains Dr. Salim Ali's
original text while describing and illustrating 240 additional species.
Color prints are used in place of the black-and-white photographs of earlier
editions. The book now illustrates in color, and succinctly describes the
habits and habitats of 538 birds of the plains and foothills, and of the
wetlands and sea-coast. The sequence of orders and families has been rearranged
to facilitate reference to current ornithological literature. The book
remains an indispensable field guide for everyone who wishes to enjoy the
rich and varied bird life of the country. Amazon.com

Birds
of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives
by Richard Grimmett et al.
Book Description: From the snowcapped Himalayas and the Indus valley,
to the Ganges delta and the Sri Lankan forests, the Indian subcontinent
is home to 13% of the world's species of birds and thousands of birders
and ecotourists flock to the area every year. This field guide will be
indispensable to those who wish to find and identify the many species of
avifauna of the Indian subcontinent and environs.
Featuring more than 150 color plates by eminent bird illustrators from
Europe and India, it depicts all the known species in the region, ranging
from the Himalayan Snowcock in the north to the Sri Lanka Spurfowl in the
south. The plates include all relevant identifiable subspecies, as well
as ages and sexes. It contains hundreds of range maps and the succinct
text on the facing pages covers identification, voice, and distribution.
Specially designed for use in the field, it is a compact version of the
landmark A Guide to the Birds of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan,
Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, hailed on its publication as a "stunning book"
that "advanced the cause of Indian birding by 20-30 years." With its modest
price, small trim size, and sturdy, weather-resistant binding, this field
guide is the one volume that every adventurous traveler to the Indian subcontinent
must have.
