The Azores are a group of volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean with a very mild climate. The number of breeding bird species is not very large, but there are several bird species with restricted range, so that the area has been declared a Secondary Endemic Bird Area (EBA-S) by BirdLife International. Individual islands are of global importance for the bird life on earth, so BirdLife International has declared thirteen of them IBAs (Important Bird Areas). Of particular interest are the many guests consisting of pelagic, European, and North American birds. This multilingual bird guide (en, de, es, fr, ja, cn) illustrates the complete bird life of the Azores in colored pictures. As a bonus, links to HD videos of 80 bird spiecies and to 44 audios are included. Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
