A Field Guide to New Zealand Birds
Mark Bellingham
by Geoff Moon (Reed) $34.95 Bird lovers and photographers will be familiar with Geoff Moon’s outstanding photography in his large format bird books and calendars. In this new field guide each species has an informative text and is well illus-
trated with photos, although it doesn’t include many seabirds or rare vagrants. In recent years there has been a rash of simpler bird field guides and of these Moon’s guide is easily the best. This guide shows the power of photographs for bird identification. However, we still lack a good comparative photographic field guide, like the American Audubon guides, which point out distinctive features of different birds and compare them with similar species. Perhaps it will be Geoff Moon’s second edition.
