A richly illustrated photographic field guide

This is the first photographic field identification guide to Eastern Caribbean birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, land crabs, dragonflies, and butterflies. Beautiful and easy-to-use, the guide covers 17 island groups stretching from the Virgin Islands south through the Lesser Antilles, from Anguilla to Grenada, where a unique range of flora and fauna has evolved in relative isolation. Around 30 percent of all the species included are endemic to the region.

For each island group, there is a list of endemic and “must-see” species, along with suggested sites to visit; site accessibility is indicated where possible. Whether you live in the Eastern Caribbean or are visiting, this is an essential guide to the spectacular wildlife of its beautiful islands.

Includes all the birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, land crabs, dragonflies, and butterflies that are likely to be seen, and features an introduction to each group. Contains over 420 species and more than 850 stunning color photos. Species descriptions highlight key identification features and provide information on distribution and habitat preferences. Includes richly illustrated introductory sections with maps and habitat information. Details conservation status and actions for more than 100 globally threatened species.
