Reviews

Wins friends from the outset ... very appealing, with enough detail to identify all but the most cryptic birds ... Next time I visit Ecuador it'll be Freile & Restall in my backpack.
*Birdwatch*

Its manageable size, authoritative text, helpful maps and accurate illustrations make Freile and Restall’s the number one choice in field guides for birders going to Ecuador.
