The latest Helm Field Guide has arrived at NHBS!
Birds of East Asia is the first single-volume guide ever devoted to the eastern Asian avifauna of Eastern China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Eastern Russia. The eastern Asian region is an important center of endemism, especially the major islands off the continental coast (including Japan and Taiwan) and the immediately adjacent areas of the Asian continent including Kamchatka in the north and the Korean Peninsula.
Birds endemic to this region include representatives of many of the major families, from the world’s largest eagle – Steller’s Sea Eagle – to the tiny Formosan Firecrest. The east Asian continental coast and the offshore islands also form one of the world’s major international bird migration routes, especially for waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors, while the east Asian continental mainland itself is home to a wide range of species little-known to western ornithologists such as Scaly-sided Merganser, Oriental Stork and Mugimaki Flycatcher.
