A complete and updated checklist of the Birds recorded in Argentina. This comprehensive work brings together a wealth of information, combining extensive recent data with a re-evaluation of the historical literature and a re-examination of critical museum specimens, thus providing a complete update on the status of the Argentine avifauna. The list also covers the Argentine Atlantic Territory and the South Atlantic islands. All information is summarised with brief, cross-referenced species texts, and thus the "Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Argentina" doubles as a field aid and a definitive reference work, useful for both the travelling birder and likewise the dedicated ornithologist, in a single handy volume. It features: a complete species checklist in grid format; life-zone codes for every species; the latest taxonomic and systematic developments; an in-depth analysis of 54 hypothetical species; detailed notes on 34 species recorded for the first time since 1987; notes on the last record for 42 rarities; an evaluation of 34 species now considered erroneous;and listings of threatened, endemic and introduced species.
