Suriname, located on the Atlantic coast of northeastern South America, is a relatively small country compared to most other American countries. It nevertheless has a rich avifauna. By the end of 2014, 746 species (including 760 subspecies) were known to occur in Suriname.

Most of the land area of Suriname is still covered with tropical rainforest and the country should be a must-visit for birdwatchers. Suriname is even mentioned as being the best country to spot certain neotropical species. Surprisingly, few birders visit Suriname. The main reason given is the lack of a handy pocket guide that can easily be carried in a backpack.

The 'Field Guide to the Birds of Suriname' (with its 107 color plate) tries to fill this gap. In addition to species accounts, data on topography, climate, geology, geomorphology, biogeography, avifauna composition, conservation, and hotspots for bird watching are given. So, why delay your trip to this beautiful and friendly country any longer? Suriname with its rich avifauna is waiting for you!

Niet helemaal wat ik verwacht had. Dat ligt zeker ook een deel aan mijn verwachting maar dit is niet een Vogelgids zoals de van helm field guides bijvoorbeeld. Van de 642 pagina’s zijn er maar ongeveer 100 geïllustreerd met vogels. De in het Engels omschreven vogel staat ook nog eens op een totaal andere pagina. Geen slecht boek maar zeker niet wat ik van een field guide over vogels verwacht. Voor de rest een makkelijke en vlotte website. Het boek was zeer netjes verpakt dus daar ligt het zeker niet aan.
