“Birds of Liberia” by Wulf Gatter (1997) is a comprehensive field guide that provides an in-depth exploration of the bird species found in Liberia, a country known for its rich and diverse avifauna. The book covers more than 500 species, including both resident and migrant birds, and is an essential resource for birdwatchers, ornithologists, and conservationists interested in West African birdlife.

The guide offers detailed species accounts, including information on identification, habitats, distribution, and behavior, alongside range maps and illustrations to assist in accurate field identification. It highlights Liberia’s unique ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests, coastal wetlands, and savannas, and the variety of bird species they support.

As one of the few comprehensive bird guides focused specifically on Liberia, this book is invaluable for anyone studying or exploring the country’s avian diversity and is an important contribution to the understanding and conservation of Liberia’s natural heritage.
