Birds of Japan

A comprehensive field guide to the birds of Japan, covering 740 species including 30 endemics, has been published. This guide, authored by Otani Chikara, a renowned ornithologist with extensive experience in bird surveys and guiding, spans the entire Japanese archipelago from the Arctic landscapes of Hokkaido to the subtropical Ogasawara Islands. It features high-quality illustrations, color maps, and QR codes linking to additional online resources, making it a valuable tool for both researchers and tourists. The guide's strength lies in its extensive coverage, providing detailed species accounts and conservation insights, which will benefit English-speaking audiences, including foreign researchers and Japanese residents alike.
