The illustrations now have simplified labels, and pinpointing key differentiating features. Distribution maps have been updated, showing the relative abundance of a species in the region, and also indicating resident or migrant status. Species accounts have been rewritten and now include group introductions. Plates have been newly designed for ease of use and comparison. More than 380 new improved illustrations replace earlier ones.
