"This book ... includes all the species from Grand Bahama to Grenada, and it fits in your pocket."--Birder's World "Birds of the West Indies is the perfect companion for birders, wildlife enthusiasts, and holiday-seekers interested in this area of the world."--Ian Paulsen, Birdbooker Report "A compact, lightweight, and very portable paperback which describes a huge number of birds... As you'd expect from an artist like Norman Arlott the illustrations are modern, detailed, and on the whole, accurate."--10,000 Birds "A real treasure... Simple and simply beautiful ... this is the bird book that every West Indies visitor, birders and vacationers alike, will want to have in hand."--Robert Mortenson, Idaho Birding blog "[This] is the little book you want to carry when you travel anywhere from the Bahamas to Grenada... If you are going to the West Indies, don't leave home without it."--Roberta Byer, The Fat Finch "Arlott's book is an excellent choice for a visitor to any of the islands, whether for birding or beach, or for an intrepid Florida birder looking to predict the next big vagrant."--The Drinking Bird Blog "This field guide is illustrated with paintings by Arlott. They're not only accurate (which is the most important thing), but I find them very attractive as well... I would highly recommend Birds of the West Indies to anyone visiting the Caribbean."--Grant McCreary, Birder's Library "[T]his little volume is more than a checklist but almost as grand as a full fledged field guide. The text was superb and provided many insights on the species and the plates are certainly colorful. I especially like that the whole West Indies is covered. As a traveler of the Caribbean, this will be the perfect tome to keep in a bird bag as one island hops."--Flying Mullet
