Multi-Ethnic Bird Guide of the Sub-Antarctic Forests of South America

The Multi-Ethnic Bird Guide of the Sub-Antarctic Forests of South America recording has been released via the UNT Digital Library. The recording is free and accessible worldwide to listen to. The audio recording originally came from two audio CDs from the book published by UNT Press and available from in print and e-book form at http://untpress.unt.edu/catalog/3107.
