"“What really stands IDH out as not merely the bird book of 2024, but the superlative title of the early 21st Century, is the immensity of its vision and successful capture of knowledge to help birdwatchers of all levels of experience put names to species which have long confounded and confused them. . . . My birding horizons widen at every page turn.”" * Birdwatch *
"Even the most ardent identification enthusiast will find much that is new and thought-provoking here . . . .
