"With the appearance of the Orange Free State Bird Atlas we see the emergence of a significant ornithological achievement in a region where, until recently, ornithology was hardly to be detected as a living entity at all. With the drive and inspiration of Roy Earlé and Nick Grobler and their body of coworkers another milestone on the road of southern African ornithology has been erected, and a creditable one it is too. The zoological expertise of Dr Earlé and the geological skills of Professor Grobler combine to produce an introductory section on the Orange Free State worthy of a scientific publication for an area of comparable size anywhere in the world." - Gordon Lindsay Maclean.
