More than 650 bird species have been recorded in the Pantanal, with surrounding habitats adding even greater diversity. Most visitors see only a fraction of what's standing in plain sight. This field guide closes that gap.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBirds of the Pantanal Field Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is a carefully curated field identification guide built for travelers, ecotourists, and backyard naturalists who want more than pretty pictures. They want to identify what they're looking at, understand where to find it, and learn how to distinguish it from similar species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, 80 species are organized the way birders actually experience them in the field - by habitat and behavior, not dry taxonomic order - across four sections: Forest \u0026amp; Canopy Birds, Raptors \u0026amp; Owls, Wetland \u0026amp; Waterway Birds, and Signature \u0026amp; Endemic Species.

And you'll find some of the region's more elusive specialties - the Crowned Solitary Eagle, one of the rarest raptors in South America; the Sunbittern, whose spectacular eye-patterned wing display stays hidden until the moment it's threatened; and the Fasciated Tiger-Heron, perfectly camouflaged against sunlit riverbanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Transpantaneira corridor at dawn, where Jabiru and Great Black Hawk stand within arm's reach of the road, to drying oxbow lakes where hundreds of storks, spoonbills, and herons concentrate as the dry season peaks, the Pantanal rewards every level of birding experience. Compact enough for the trail, rigorous enough for the dedicated list-keeper, and beautiful enough to keep on the shelf when you're home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrab your copy today and start your Pantanal life list.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Feron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798185944110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Jack Feron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997893898495,"sku":"9798185944110","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birds-of-the-pantanal-field-jack-feron-9798185944110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
