Product Description
Product Description
Ideal for the travelling birdwatcher, this useful guide provides a comprehensive overview of the wide variety of birdlife to be found in Costa Rica. More than 250 species are included in the book, with each description supported by a clear colour photograph taken where possible in the bird's natural Costa Rican habitat. As well as the commoner species likely to be encountered - colourful birds such as the Blue-grey Tanager, Social Flycatcher, Kiskadee, Clay-coloured Robin and Rufous-collared Sparrow - the guide also focuses on endemics, such as Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager, and endangered species, such as the Barenecked Umbrellabird and Three-wattled Bellbird. This new edition is fully updated with all the latest names and recently recognised species.

This book does exactly what is required and provides a short detailed account of all the birds likely to be encountered - small enough to be a constant companion

we managed to spot lots of birds in Costa Rica which don't appear to be in this book.
once or twice, what we had seen was mentioned in the text of a similar bird.
however, it appeared to us to be a "Birds of Costa Rica of which our family has pictures"
rather than a comprehensive spotting guide.
bit disappointed overall.

The Photographic Birds of Costa Rica was ordered very late, a few days before
I flew to Costa Rica, and paid quite a lot for speedy delivery. It arrived in time.
On the flight to CR I found that the book was in fact faulty - 12 pages of birds were missing
- including the towcans, and the first 12 of the book were repeated at the end of the book.
This was indeed a fairly rotten sale . I beleive that the seller may well have bought faulty
goods at a very cheap price and then pased them on through Amazon at a very advantageous price.
So buyers need to be very wary of this particular sle.
