Best
for Birding...
|
I
just got back from my birding trip to Australia, which was
great. Thank you very much for helping me out with books
and tapes. I think Morcombe's field guide is the very best
for any location. It is fantastic. The art work is excellent
and I love the layout. It is very convenient to have the
maps, text, and drawings on the same page. The relative
abundance feature on the maps is a great feature to have.
This gives you an idea of the best places to try to find
those tough birds.
Thanks
again for the help,
Mike,
