Ethiopia and Eritrea have a fascinating and unique avifauna. Poorlyknown in comparison to many parts of Africa, knowledge on birddistribution in the two countries is scattered throughout theliterature. For more than 35 years, the authors have been painstakinglycollecting bird records in the region and plotting them on half-degreemaps, including published records, data from museum specimens, sightings fromtheir own extensive travels and, more recently, records from the manybirdwatchers that now visit Ethiopia.The resulting atlas provides, for the first time, an accurateassessment of the distribution of each of the 870 species known fromthe two countries, including valuable information on breeding. Thesuccinct text summarises the results and discusses distribution tosubspecies level. Extensive introductory chapters cover topics such astopography, geology, vegetation, climate, habitats, conservation,migration, breeding seasons, bird ringing, and the history ofornithology in the region. This groundbreaking book fills a large holein the literature for one of the most diverse and least known areas ofAfrica.
