Birds of Venezuela

Venezuela is blessed with one of the largest avifaunas in the world.

More than 1,400 species have been recorded in the country, thanks to a great diversity of habitats ranging from the High Andes to lowland Amazonian rainforest, and just about everything in between.

Its strategic position in the north of South America also ensures that it receives many non-breeding migrants, both from the north and from the south.

Add to this a good number of endemics, and you have all the ingredients for a top birding destination.

This field guide has been written to fulfil the needs of both visiting and resident birders by providing a single-volume, portable field guide that covers every species recorded in the country.
