&i;`The most authoritative local book on Neotropical birds to have appeared in many years, this wonderful "guia de campo" to the birds of the Bogota region is more than a basic guide. In addition to good detail on the surprising diversity of bird species found in the Bogota region, it also presents information on local habitats (most of them now, sadly, greatly disturbed) and other threats they face. The attractive colour plates are simple, but more than adequate for their purposes. Congratulations to the team of ornithologists who prepared this very useful book.'&o; Robert Ridgely
