"A first rate book that is a fine contribution to bird literature. For the birder who has everything, this makes a great gift."—Roy John, Canadian Field-Naturalist
"This book is a straightforward field guide to the birds, with color plates, plate legions, and accompanying short species accounts. The illustrations are excellent."—South Dakota Bird Notes
"Cataloguing the Senegambian avifauna poses quite a challenge, given the abundance and diversity of species in numerous habitats. The authors rise to the occasion by presenting to both birding advocates and biologists a beautiful, succinct and very useful guide to the region's bird life."—Clay E. Corbin, Quarterly Review of Biology
