This field guide combines information to aid the identification of birds found in Tasmania with photographs of each species in its natural habitat. Bird entries are organized into six waterbirds; birds of prey; rails and hens; waders; gulls and terns; owls, parrots and kingfishers; and songbirds. Each entry includes information on identification, behaviour, voice, habitat and breeding, accompanied by a colour photograph and distribution map. The foreword is written by ornithologist David Baker-Gabb.
