Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela, where he conceived and painted the art for his masterpiece, the two-volume Birds of Northern South America, which featured his illustrations of 2,300 species. He also wrote and illustrated Munias and Mannikins, and contributed to a number of other guides to South American birds. Miguel Lentino is Scientific Director of the Colección Ornitológica William H. Phelps in Caracas, Venezuela. The first president of the Venezuelan Union of Ornithologists between 2006 and 2010, Miguel has coordinated a bird monitoring program in the Henri Pittier National Park, which has operated uninterruptedly since 1990, and culminated in the first ringing manual for Neotropical ornithologists.
