This is the first comprehensive field guide to the birds of China. It covers 1,329 species, each illustrated with a full-color painting by Karen Phillipps and accompanied by a detailed distribution map. The text, written by renowned British conservationist John MacKinnon, provides information on identification, voice, habitat, behavior, and status. Compact and designed for field use, this guide remains the standard English-language reference for anyone birdwatching in China — from the Himalayas to the eastern seaboard, from the Siberian border to tropical Yunnan.
