Under The MicroscopeFIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND, by Barrie Heather & Hugh Robertson, Illustrated by Derek Onley; Viking, 1996; 434 pages; $49.95 This is a long-awaited field guide with comprehensive descriptions and field observations. It contains a wealth of new information developed from checking the reliability of important field characteristics. Derek Onley's accurate artistic illustrations allow species to be compared at rest and in flight. This book would be a worthwhile addition to recreational bird watchers' and ornithologists' collections alike, to allow them to identify wild birds seen anywhere in the New Zealand region.
