Reviews

This well-organized and well-written field guide occupies a unique niche, in that it covers all of Central America south of Mexico. The consistently high-quality artwork gives this guide a leg up. The book rightly emphasizes the importance of vocalizations in the species accounts and the resulting descriptions are comprehensive and accurate. -Kevin J. Zimmer, author of Birding in the American West and international tour leader for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours With its valuable text and maps, plus clear plates, this is an excellent guide. Central America is an ornithologically complex region, and it is wonderful to have all this information together for the first time. The authors are to be congratulated for undertaking such an ambitious project. -Steve N. G. Howell, coauthor of Birds of Chile: A Photo Guide
