This Handbook, part of a ten-volume series on South Asian birds, is an important landmark in Indian ornithology. It includes information on long-range migration and taxonomic changes, along with the existing life history information, accounts of behaviour, ecology, distribution, and migration records of practically every species of birds found not only on the Indian subcontinent but also in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. Written in a vigorous, animated style, with colour photographs of virtually every species listed, the Handbook provides brief yet rich factual material, compiled and presented in an encyclopaedic form by two of the world’s greatest ornithologists, Salim Ali and S. Dillon Ripley. The Handbook remains an indispensable source for the ornithologist and the lay birdwatcher.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Salim Ali

Salim Ali was as active in the field of conservation as he was in ornithology.  He was probably the only person who had traveled to all the obscure regions of the Indian Subcontinent at one time or another of his life and knew the country, its forests and its birdlife intimately.  He lived and worked for the birds of his land, to present these ethereal spirits of the air to his countrymen and to the world.
