The definitive guide to the birdlife of Mongolia.
Mongolia lies at the heart of Asia, bridging the vast Siberian taiga forests of the north and the world's coldest deserts to the south. It encompasses great mountain ranges, extensive steppes and deserts, and pristine rivers and lakes. Large and sparsely populated, Mongolia harbours a rich avifauna including an array of globally rare and local species. For dozens of steppe species and many others, Mongolia really is the place to go.
This beautiful guide by Gombobaatar Sundev, Mongolia's most famous ornithologist, and Christopher Leahy provides in-depth details for 502 species, including all residents, migrants, and vagrants. The authoritative text covers identification features, along with voice, habitat, behaviour and status, and is accompanied by 112 superb plates depicting every species and many distinct plumages and races. Detailed maps - a cartographic feat never before attempted for Mongolia - accompany the text.
Birds of Mongolia is an indispensable guide for birders, adventurers, and all those interested in this central Asian nation.
