About the book >.>.> There are estimated to be about 8600 species of hirds living in the world today, arranged under 20 Natural Orders. Of these, some 1200 species in 20 Orders and numerous Families are known to occur in the Indian subcontinent. The Handbook describes the 1200 species: detailed feather-by-feather descriptions are not attempted, and the work confines itself to recording concisely the distribution, habits, breeding bre biology, diet, voice, etc. of the birds in the area. With the help of over 100 plates that feature in the Handbook, and the systematic keys in the text, the bird-watcher and the scientific ornithologist should be able to identify most of the birds they see and all those that they handle. Maps show the distribution of many migratory and spatially restricted forms and a number of line drawings illustrate diagnostic features such as bills and feet. The Handbook has been hailed as a monumental work and is likely to remain an indispensable, standard publication for all serious students of ornithology. First pub.
