    Birds of Chile (Martínez Piña & González Cifuentes) Some pages and plates now visible in the NHBS website: https://www.nhbs.com/de/birds-of-chile-pina-cifuentes-book My comments refer only to the sample pages of the book, so I'm not sure my perception would change if I had seen the full book...

    I know what you mean, but these two birds are not too difficult to see together in the Azores.

    Yep. Among the possible improvements must be the inclusion of the 'newly' described endemic Pincoya Storm-petrel.

    Has anyone seen any illustrations from the forthcoming Birds of Chile? The cover has been revealed, but the sample pages are from the Jaramillo field guide, not from the new one: https://www.nhbs.com/birds-of-chile-book The Jaramillo book was quite good IMO, this new one will have to be much...

    Snow Petrels are among the most incredible bird species! Fantastic. It reminded me of this: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/01/photo-journal-birds-paths-migration-starling/

    Birds of Brazil (Zimmer & Whittaker, Princeton) is now being advertised as available from 25 April 2019 here. This is a most needed title, and the plates (by Eduardo Brettas) I've seen up to know seem to finally make justice to this amazing country's avifauna. Strangely, in NHBS, the "look...
