Aus Field Guides (long)

Hi Paul, 

Simpson and Day has an  'E' next to the bird name
to indicate an endemic.

Dear Birdnetters

Any comments about the old (early 80s) Pizzey & Doyle?

Also, do any of the field guides state the total range of the bird? As
a
first time visitor to Australasia it would be useful for me to know which
of the birds are endemic to Australia (for a number it is easy to figure
out as their depicted range is somewhere near the center or south of the
continent) and which occur more widely. Simpson & Day seems to have
no
indication of this, Pizzey & Doyle does (these are the only two I have).

Cheers, Paul
