โThis book is for anyone who loves nature photography or birdingย .ย .ย . A fine introduction to the beauty and diversity of this region.โ โSoutheastern Naturalist
ย
From Belize to Brazil, the forests of the American neotropics are home to an astonishing array of birdsโover 3,700 different species, or nearly forty percent of all the birds on earth. Birding enthusiasts Vera and Bob Thornton have spent fifteen years photographing these special and exotic birds in the rainforests of eleven different countries of Central and South America. In this book, youโll find more than a hundred spectacular color photographs they took during their travels, along with a highly entertaining account of their adventuresโand misadventuresโin chasing these exotic neotropicals.
ย
The birds pictured here are among the Thorntonsโ personal favoritesโbirds that, in their words, โeither dazzled us with their beauty, or charmed us by their behavior, or, in a few cases, simply challenged us by the mystique of their rarity.โ This latter category includes such elusive and sought-after birds as the Black-crowned Antpitta, the Zigzag Heron, the Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo, the Bare-necked Umbrellabird, and the monkey-eating Harpy Eagle. In the accompanying text, Bob Thornton engagingly describes the challenges as well as the magic of negotiating the neotropical rainforests in search of colorful birds to photograph. For those who would like to follow in the Thorntonsโ footsteps, there are also helpful tips about photographic gear and techniques, preferred places to see the birds, lodging, and guides. For everyone who enjoys excellent nature photography, Chasing Neotropical Birds is a must-have volume.
