'Have you given up trying to identify those small brown look-alike birds and now resolutely ignore them? Or do you feverishly page through your field guides but end up none the wiser? Maybe you've never thought it possible to tell a Desert Cisticola from a Cloud Cisticola ... This book is just what you need. LBJs Made Easier helps you to identify nondescript little birds through a five-step process of elimination. Close to 200 species are covered in these pages. No matter where you are in the southern African region, this book provides guidance on how to identify that infuriating little bird that either "isn't in the book" or looks just like any of a number of pictures in the book. The LBJs covered in this book are difficult to identify honeyguides, larks, bulbuls, chats, thrushes, robins, warblers, flycatchers, pipits, female seed-eaters plus canaries and siskins." .
