A stunning photographic showcase of the birds of Cuba.
Cuba is now one of the most popular birding destinations in the world. Its rich avifauna includes 25 endemic species, and the island is also home to a range of regional scarcities and an important stopping point for migrants as they cross the Caribbean.

Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution, along with a map.
