About this book

Language: French

Guyanese birds are beautiful, but often overlooked.

For the first time in French, a work allows a great public to discover nearly 150 species, amongst them the most beautiful, the most symbolic, or simply the most common in French Guiana. Each entry, beautifully illustrated, addresses the following: identification, observation, feeding and reproduction.

In addition, many sketches and more than 100 boxes detail remarkable and unexpected aspects of the described species.

You will also find in this book a rich naturalistic vocabulary of over 150 definitions, a choice of 30 sites for bird watching, the complete and updated list of 716 bird species known to date in Guiana and an extensive specialized bibliography.

This book, which fills a editorial gap, can be used during visits to Venezuela, Brazil, Suriname or elsewhere in the Amazon. The names of birds are also translated in 12 languages, including Spanish, Brazilian, Dutch and, where possible, Aluku, Sranan Tongo, Creole and 5 Amerindian languages ​​of French Guiana.

Summary in French:
Les oiseaux de Guyane sont superbes... mais souvent méconnus...

Pour la première fois en français, un ouvrage grand public permet de découvrir près de 150 espèces parmi les plus splendides, les plus emblématiques, ou simplement les plus communes de notre région. Chaque article, superbement illustré, traite les points suivants : identification, observation, alimentation et reproduction.

En complément, de nombreux croquis et plus de 100 encadrés approfondissent des aspects remarquables ou inattendus des espèces décrites.

Vous trouverez également dans cet ouvrage un lexique naturaliste riche de plus de 150 définitions, un choix de 30 sites pour observer les oiseaux, la liste complète et actualisée des 716 espèces d'oiseaux connues à ce jour en Guyane, ainsi qu'une importante bibliographie spécialisée.

Ce livre, qui vient combler une lacune éditoriale, peut être utilisé lors de séjours au Venezuela, au Brésil, au Surinam ou ailleurs en Amazonie. Les noms d'oiseaux sont d'ailleurs traduits en 12 langues, dont l'espagnol, le brésilien, le néerlandais et, quand c'est possible, l'aluku, le sranan tongo, le créole et 5 langues amérindiennes de Guyane.
