520			_aThe Field Guide to the Birds of Sri Lanka is the first fully comprehensive, modern field guide for a country rich with ornithological beauty. It describes all of Sri Lanka's 426 official avian species and includes 48 stunning new color plates painted by Tim Worfolk, one of Britain's leading bird artists. The text, appropriate for experienced ornithologists and beginners alike, highlights the important identification features -- such as plumage, size, calls, songs, range, distribution, and status -- for every species. And the plates beautifully illustrate the various plumage variations for each bird while perched or in flight where relevant to their identification. In addition to detailed descriptions and exquisite illustrations, the guide's introduction describes some of the best sites for watching Sri Lanka's abundant avifauna and provides useful contact information for the prospective traveler. In fact, the guide is an essential purchase for all birdwatchers traveling to the region or for those who simply love birds.
