Book Description

Trinidad & Tobago are popular tourist destinations and the islands are also a top location for visiting birders. This comprehensive and portable field guide covers every species found on the islands. The concise text includes descriptions of every species, highlighting plumage variation and distinctions from similar species. The plates use the relevant images from Birds of Northern South America to create new plates specific for Trinidad & Tobago. This new edition has been completely revised. The plates have been extensively re-worked, with many images replaced and repainted. As a result, there are now eight extra plates, and some groups, such as flycatchers, have been repainted almost in entirety. The text has also been updated. This new edition supersedes all previous field guides to these popular islands.

Book Description

Excerpt from Guide to Trinidad: A Handbook for the Use of Tourism and Visitors Although a resident in this colony of ten years' standing, I have not undertaken this task, pleasant as it has been, without serious misgivings, knowing as I do full well that there are many far more competent than myself to do justice to this beautiful island. Trinidad is, however, daily becoming more widely appreciated, as evidenced by the increased number of visitors flocking here, and I could not help feeling that a 'Guide, ' simply and plainly telling what there is to see, and how to see it, would not be utterly useless. This little handbook is not intended, in the slightest degree, to rival the excellent works already in the field. Even to disclaim this notion is so presumptuous that I would not do it did I not wish to draw attention to the fact that if, in the course of these pages, I have awakened in the reader the desire to learn more of Trinidad, he could not do better than peruse the admirable books of Mr. Gustave Borde and Dr. de Verteuil. I will take this opportunity of acknowledging my deep indebtedness to the numerous friends who have rendered me willing assistance. Particularly with regard to Chapters VIII. and X., I should have been literally nowhere without the information gleaned and matter obtained from clergy and ministers of all the denominations therein mentioned. Others in different ways have been equally helpful. Doubtless, in spite of vigilance, mistakes (I am afraid not a few) will have crept in here and there, and in such a case I shall feel obliged if my readers will kindly take the trouble to set me right.
