Casual Birding in Trinidad & Tobago: Introducing More Than 175 of T&T’s Common and Iconic Birds
by Faraaz Abdool
From Faraaz Abdool:
Perfect for anyone who has ever seen a bird before, this book is designed to awaken wonder and excitement about the feathered friends that we see on a daily basis. It is an invitation to stop and take a minute or two to give more than simply a passing glance at the masters of the air. It is encouragement to explore; to see and experience new sights and sounds, all within the twin island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, the richest in the Caribbean in terms of biodiversity, a unique place that almost 1.4 million people are fortunate to call home.
With more than 500 full-colour photographs, relaxed descriptions and accounts based on a fine mix of historical data and personal experience, this book strikes the ideal balance between a good read and a handy reference.
Available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook or paperback hardcopy (though that version is expensive!), this book’s goal is to spark an interest of birds in the residents of Trinidad and Tobago. As such, it provides an introduction to birds in general, birding, and a selection of T&T’s common birds. The photographs are gorgeous and the information presented is perfect for such an audience.
Visitors to the islands who are interested in nature, but not necessarily hard-core birders, would also profit from it. If you are visiting primarily for birding, though the information here may be interesting and helpful, you would still need one of the full field guides available.
