Japan Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species

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 endemics (found nowhere else) and five breeding endemics (which breed only in Japan). The area is a magnet for migratory birds, which account for 60% of the species found in Japan. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar and unique species and includes a map featuring prominent bird-viewing areas. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of portable information for anyone interested in Asia birds, and is ideal for field use by Japan’s residents and visitors. Made in the USA.
