A comprehensive ornithological guide introducing both visitors and residents to the bird life of the Bahamas Archipelago and the neighbouring Turks and Caicos Islands. The text contains colour photos and information on the breeding birds of the region plus the most commonly recorded migrants that either pass through on their way to other destinations or stay during the winter season. The author has divided the birds into two sections, land and water. Not every bird that has been recorded in the region is included but emphasis is on how to recognize or identify the various species and their plumages plus information on how the birds are distributed in the islands and whether or not they are common, uncommon or rare. Behaviour and habitat preferences are covered as well as calls and songs.… (mer)

Basics: 2006, 1st edition, softcover, 245 pages, 400+ color photos, 200 species, no range maps

This photo guide covers 100 breeding birds and another 100 common migrants that occur in the islands (out of 320+ total species recorded). The Bahamas, along with the Turks and Caicos (a British dependent territory), range from southeast Florida down towards the eastern end of Cuba.

This book is a photographic field guide that, like most photo guides, lacks the detail and plumage variations possible in an illustrated guide. The photos are good but are on the small side. Most of the birds are shown with multiple photos, typically to denote the differences between gender and seasons. All the islands' specialties have multiple color photos.

The text covers the topics of status/range, description, voice, habits, and comments. As one would expect, migrants receive a little less discussion while the breeders – especially the island specialties – are discussed a little more, often covering the various subspecies. The taxonomy is up to date and covers the subspecies of Western Spindalis (versus the prior Stripe-headed Tanager).

There are no range maps for the birds. I think this is an unfortunate oversight since many of the birds have peculiar scenarios of being on some islands but not others; or, missing from islands that would be expected to harbor the bird. There was certainly room in the pages to display a modest map.

For a birding trip to the islands, I would select a different field guide to take with me; not because this book is bad, but only because its layout and photos are more conducive to be examined at home before and after the trip rather than being used in the field.
