Abstract

77063-4. Cloth, $85.00.--Although many visitors to the Neotropics are captivated by its gaudy tanagers, hummingbirds, motmots, and toucans, it is the suboscine birds that define the region for hardcore Neotropical field people. Thus, volume 2 treats what some would consider the soul of the Neotropical avifauna, namely the woodcreepers, ovenbirds, antbirds, tapaculos, tyrannids, manakins, and cotingas. This volume is dedicated to the memories of Eugene Eisenmann and Ted Parker.
