Although it is one of South America's smallest countries, Ecuador
is home to nearly 1,600 species of birds. This is thanks to the
huge variety of habitats created by the Andes. The country is a
birder's paradise and an increasingly popular tourist
destination. Areas such as Tandayapa, Mindo and La Selva are
renowned for their birdwatching potential and boast such dramatic
species as Toucan Barbet, Andean Cock-of-the-Rock, Andean Condor,
Giant Conebill and Ocellated Tapaculo, plus an array of brightly
colored manikins, cotingas, tanagers and hummingbirds. Offshore,
the Galapagos Islands provide one of the world's greatest
wildlife spectacles.Two hundred and fifty-two of Ecuador and the
Galapagos' most interesting and spectacular birds are featured in
this concise and easy-to-use guide.

Illustrated with clear color photography and brief but
authoritative descriptions the Pocket Photo Guides highlight the
species of birds and animals from each region that the traveler
is most likely to see, as well as those that are genuinely
endemic (only to be seen in that country or region) or special
rarities. The genuine pocket size allow the books to be carried
around on trips and excursions and will take up minimal backpack
and suitcase space.
