This comprehensive and meticulously researched work brings together a wealth of information, combining extensive recent data with a re-evaluation of the historical literature and a re-examination of critical museum specimens, thus providing a complete update on the status of the Argentine avifauna. The list also covers the Argentine Atlantic Territory and the South Atlantic islands. It includes:

• A complete species checklist in grid format.
• Life-zone codes for every species.
• The latest taxonomic and systematic developments.
• An in-depth analysis of 54 hypothetical species.
• Detailed notes on 34 species recorded for the first time since 1987.
• Notes on the last record for 42 rarities.

• Listings of threatened, endemic and introduced species.

All information is summarised with brief, cross-referenced species texts, and thus the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Argentina doubles as a field aid and a definitive reference work, useful for both the travelling birder and likewise the dedicated ornithologist, in a single handy volume.
