Andy Swash & Robert Still. Birds, Mammals & Reptiles of the
Galápagos Islands.
WorldTwitch
2001 Technical Innovation Award. This is an impressive
little guide that anyone, birder or not, visiting the Galápagos
should take along. Robert Still, a computer graphics expert, has
seamlessly combined digitally enhanced photographs onto plates.
This is the first field guide I have seen with thorough coverage
of the endemic rice rats and lava lizards. 168 pages. Second
edition 2006 (2000), with corrections and additional photos.

Raptors of the World: A Field Guide. 320 pages. 2006.
Compact version of the 2000 handbook, with new plates by Alan
Harris and updated taxonomy. The 992-page handbook was full of
mistakes and did not appear to have been reviewed by a raptor
expert. Hopefully this version will be much better. Princeton
