Product Description

This is a completely new in-depth field guide to the 1,070 bird species, including North American migrants, found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and western Nicaragua. More than 180 species are endemic to this region and the book details their appearance, voice, habitat, behaviour (including nests and eggs) and distribution. Range maps are included with species accounts, and introductory essays give essential background information, with special appendices summarizing useful information on the avifaunas of various offshore Pacific and Caribbean islands. The Guide's striking illustrations include 71 colour plates and 39 black-and-white drawings, based on the authors' field experience and in many cases detailing plumages never before illustrated. Authoritative and up-to-date, this is an essential reference work for every birdwatchers' collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly recommended for a birding trip in this region, 2 Mar 2000

By A Customer

I used this guide on a recent trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Without a doubt it is the best reference guide available for the region. The written descriptions are superb, but usually a little work was required to seek out the species account to identify the bird that you had observed. This is because the colour plates are located in the centre of the book remote to the text. It is also a heavy book, at over 1 kg, making using it in the field a bit of a chore, however it is indespensible for a trip to the region.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful and informative guide, even for a beginner!, 2 Dec 1998

By A Customer

When I first received this book, I was overwhelmed by its size and weight - it is bigger than the typical field guide. However, after using it for one week in Mexico I was won over. It contains a wealth of useful well-organized info, about each species, plus plates and drawings which are both beautiful and carefully accurate. I found myself reading in it extensively nearly every evening, just for pleasure. Helpful tip: supplement it with a standard North American field guide. Common NA species which occur in Mexico and Central America are not always pictured in plates or drawings, though they are clearly described.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best birding guide around for Mexican birds., 29 May 1998

By A Customer

From the moment I bought this book, I became captivated with simply looking at it's pictures. It's amazing! The diversity and beauty of Mexican birds is unbelievable, and Steve Howell and Sophie Webb do an excellent job of portraying the reality of Mexican birds. It's by far, the best guide out there (heads and tails above the Peterson guide to Mexican birds) for the region. If you're going south of the border or just want to drool over God's creation, this is the book to look at.
