Puerto Rico's Birds in Photographs: A complete
guide and CD-ROM including the Virgin Islands Now available: Puerto Rico's first book to illustrate in color photographs all breeding birds and regular migrants. Over 350 color photos of 186 species of Puerto Rican birds are included. The English text is designed for students, teachers, tourists, and anyone who wants to understand Puerto Rico's natural heritage by learning about its fascinating birds. The species' life histories are written in a non-technical style for the general reader, and include important lessons for conservation of our natural resources. Most common birds of the Virgin Islands and Lesser Antilles are also illustrated. Over 80 professional and amateur ornithologists collaborated in this effort. The book comes with a CD-ROM with Spanish and English life history accounts and audio clips of 400 species, plus detailed bibliography and over 2,000 photos. Translation by José Placer. The CD-ROM is written in HTML, for PC and Macintosh computers, and allows easy use for student projects in biology, music, and art. Distributed in Puerto Rico by: OUR COLLABORATION: This has been a collaborative effort since 1995. For information on collaborating on future editions of these publications, contact Mark Oberle.
