Species
You can download and print a checklist for Zimbabwe.
BirdLife Zimbabwe has the detailed maps which were created during the development of the Bird Atlas. These have never been published because of lack of sponsorship. All the information has been incorporated into The Atlas of Southern Africa Birds HARRISON, J.A et al (1997).
