Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of Australia, Vol. 3: Comprising Three Hundred Full-Page Illustrations, With a Descriptive Account of the Life and Characteristic Habits of Over Seven Hundred Species If, then, my humble efforts can be made to reach the young, the thoughtless; and the wanton destroyers, teaching them the utility, the intelligence, and the helpless indefensibility of our beautiful birds, and thereby assist in their preservation, I shall be content. I should be guilty of unfairness were I to allow my readers to suppose that all the merit if I may use such a term) of producing this work belongs to me. Indeed, I very much doubt whether it would ever have been accomplished had it not been for the aid rendered by many unselfish and kind-hearted people all over the Australian Colonies, who generously presented me with specimens and afforded valuable information without stint. The works of the eminent men enumerated above have also been a source of invaluable assistance, which I acknowledge with deep gratitude. There have also been many manipulative helpers - some indifferent and many very good, but nearly all willing to do their best. Prominent among the latter is the firm of Messrs. S. T. Leigh Co., the well-known lithographers of Sydney, who have allowed nothing to stand in the way of making the work as good as possible.

Book Description
Finding Australian Birds is a guide to the special birds found across Australia's vastly varied landscapes. From the eastern rainforests to central deserts, Australia is home to some 900 species of birds. This book covers over 400 Australian bird watching sites conveniently grouped into the best birding areas, from one end of the country to the other. This includes areas such as Kakadu in the Top End and rocky gorges in the central deserts of the Northern Territory, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, rainforests distributed along the eastern Australian seaboard, some of the world's tallest forests in Tasmania, the Flinders Ranges and deserts along the iconic Strzelecki and Birdsville Tracks in South Australia, and the mallee temperate woodlands and spectacular coastlines in both Victoria and south west Western Australia. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the location, followed by a section on where to find the birds, which describes specific birdwatching sites within the location's boundaries, and information on accommodation and facilities. The book also provides a comprehensive 'Bird Finding Guide', listing all of Australia's birds with details on their abundance and where exactly to see them. Of value to both Australian birdwatchers and international visitors, this book will assist novices, birders of intermediate skill and keen 'twitchers' to find any Australian species.
