A Guide to the Birds of North Andros Island

Joseph Steensma, Nicholas Morken

2016

"This is the most thorough guide to finding birds on the largest and most biologically diverse island in the Bahamas. Joe Steensma and Nick Morken, the leading experts of the birds of North Andros Island, offer bird-adventurers insights as to how to find those 'hard-to-get' species and how to get to the best hot-spots on the island. With remarkable detail (and a lot of humor), the guide will give the reader the benefit of 25 years of research packed into a fun and easy-to-use book."

Birds of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands

Bruce Hallett

2006

"This is a comprehensive ornithological guide introducing both visitors and residents to the bird life of the Bahamas Archipelago and the neighbouring Turks and Caicos Islands. The text contains colour photographs and information on the breeding birds of the region plus the most commonly recorded migrants that either pass through on their way to other destinations or stay during the winter season. The level of presentation is introductory and many detailed explanations and more technical terms have been avoided. Behaviour and habitat preferences are covered as well as calls and songs."

A Birder's Guide to the Bahama Islands (Including Turks and Caicos)

Anthony W. White

American Birding Association

1998

"A Birder's Guide to the Bahamas is the first comprehensive guide to finding birds on the islands of The Bahamas and The Turks and Caicos. The islands host an unusual mix of Caribbean and North American species, with over 300 bird species recorded. The parks and refuges of The Bahamas and The Turks and Caicos protect a great diversity of subtropical birds, among them the Bahama Parrot (an endemic subspecies of Cuban Parrot), and many North American wintering birds, including the endangered Kirtland's Warbler. The New World's largest flamingo colony nests on Great Inagua in the southern Bahamas, where thousands of Greater Flamingoes are protected by the country's largest national park. These fantastic birding opportunities, combined with the Bahamas' spectacular turquoise waters and a glorious tropical climate, will make the Bahamas one of the top new destinations for North America's traveling birders. A Birder's Guide to the Bahamas - with complete descriptions by Tony White of more than 150 birding sites - guides birders to all of the major islands, numerous smaller cays, and the less developed "Family Islands." ABA's first non-North American guide also features a beautiful eight-page Photo Gallery of many of the Bahamian specialty birds, several of which show up with some regularity in Florida."
