Habitats range from wide-open savannah and rugged thornveld to broadleaved mopani woodland. This microhabitat variation gives Kruger a phenomenal diversity of some 520 bird species, half of which are resident. From Africa's most extraordinary eagles, like the scarlet-faced Bateleur, to electric-colored glossy-starlings and jewel-like finches, Kruger offers an avian celebration of form and color. It is also a crucial conservation area, supporting South Africa's largest viable populations of vultures, eagles, and large terrestrial birds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis field guide offers a unique window into the world of Kruger's birds. More than 500 stunning color photographs illustrate the 259 most frequently encountered species, and a habitat-based approach assists in identification. The authoritative text provides key information about identification, habitat, behavior, biology, and conservation. The guide contains information likely to be new to even the most experienced birders, but is written in a nontechnical style that makes it accessible to anyone.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn essential guide to Kruger's birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for new and experienced birders alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, portable format ideal for field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique attractive layout with more than 500 stunning color photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the 259 most frequently seen species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a habitat-based approach to aid identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthoritative and accessible text provides key information about identification, behavior, biology, and conservation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed by Princeton University Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Barnes, \u003c\/b\u003e a native of South Africa, is a founder and director of Tropical Birding, a birdwatching, wildlife, and photography tour operator.
