Pacific Avifauna: checklists of the birds of Fiji, American Samoa, Niue, Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Wallis & Futuna

Abstract

This guide has detailed species accounts for the 173 species eith confirmed records in the region and notes on a further 22 species with unconfirmed records. Every breeding bird and regular migrant is illustrated on 16 full colour plates. The species accounts are separated into three sections for the convenience of regional users and non-specialists, who will find the groupings more natural than the standard taxonomic classification. They are Land (and Freshwater) Birds, Sea Birds and shore birds and waders.
