The twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago combines representative South American bird families, as well as the characteristic endemism of tropical islands, making it a uniquely engaging place to observe and learn about avian life. Motmots--including the endemic Trinidad Motmot--manakins, antbirds, ovenbirds, woodcreepers, toucans, and numerous hummingbirds are joined by migratory songbirds during the winter. The iconic Scarlet Ibis is a standout among the many wetland birds common in places like the world-renowned Asa Wright Nature Centre. To help you sift through the nearly 500 birds that have been recorded in "T & T," we have created this beautifully illustrated resource. Featuring 140 familiar species, it includes an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and forge a deeper connection with Trinidad and Tobago's fascinating birds. Made in the USA.

Industry Reviews

"Has this ever happened to you? You're out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket-sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 1/4" inches long and flat as yesterday's beer."-- "Chicago Press & Sun-Bulletin"
"You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won't bite. So for our friends just starting to bird - and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window - we're giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the "don't overwhelm me" feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color."-- "Birding Business Magazine"
