Publisher's Synopsis
The tanagers are a diverse New World family of birds numbering some 242 species, some of them colourful and conspicuous. The authors have studied them at first hand and have drawn together existing information on the natural history and distribution of tanagers, most of it previously unpublished. Information on field identification is also included. The book will be of great interest to ornithologists, zoologists, and all who are interested in natural history, by contributing to the understanding of the tanagers and the ecosystems of which they are part.
