Synopsis
This book, the second in the series on the avifauna of Indonesia, introduces the reader to the most typical and colourful birds of the large islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, whose dipterocarp forests of the lowlands and wetland forest of the coastal plains are particularly rich habitats. The main descriptions covering 148 species from nearly every bird family on the two islands, provide information on the plumage, behaviour, habitat, and distribution to enable the general naturalist to identify most of the birds found readily in the different habitats of the islands. Reference is also made in the text to a further 129 species to illustrate the range and variety of birds in each family. It is hoped that this book will encourage a greater interest in birds in particular, and wildlife in general, and foster an increased awareness of the need to protect an adequate area of some of the richest habitats in the world while there is still time., This book, the second in a series on the avifauna of Indonesia, introduces the wide variety of birds of Sumatra and Kalimantan, whose lowland forests and coastal wetlands are particularly rich habitats. The main descriptions cover 148 species from nearly every bird family on the two islands.

References for 129 other species are included to illustrate the range and diversity of birds in each family.
