Waterford-Japan Birds

Japan's diverse habitats – ranging from alpine tundra and dense forests to subtropical islands – support a rich avifauna of more than 610 species, including 13 endemic species (found nowhere else) and five breeding endemic species (which breed only in Japan ). The area is a magnet for migratory birds, which represent 60% of the species found in Japan. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights more than 140 well-known and unique species and includes a map of prominent bird areas. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding manual is an excellent source of portable information for anyone interested in Asian birds, and is ideal for field use by Japan's residents and visitors.
