Portugal Birds

Nestled along the western coast of the Iberian peninsula in southwestern Europe, Portugal is a terrific place to learn about birds and observe avian life. In winter, wetlands abound with aquatic birds like sandpipers, plovers, herons, egrets, ibises, flamingos, ducks, and gulls. During migration, numerous raptors, as well as hoopoes, bee-eaters, cuckoos, kites, and other standouts, travel to and from their African wintering grounds. With such a diverse array of birds, it’s handy to have on hand a portable and reliable reference that focuses on the most familiar species. This beautifully illustrated resource features 140 common bird species, as well as an ecoregion map showing some of the top bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, the lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and peer more closely into the lives of Portugal’s birds.
