Product Description

Product Description
Central America is a wonderful birding area, supporting a rich and diverse avifauna. Belize is one of its more accessible and tourist-friendly countries, beginning to rival Costa Rica as the most popular Central American birding destination of all. The colour distribution maps indicate the range of breeding and visiting species. This is the first guide ever published to the birds of Belize, and will be a vital aid to all those birdwatching in this spectacular country.

About the Author
Lee Jones is an experienced environmental consultant and research biologist. He serves as a regional editor for North American Birds and is author of the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Belize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fills a major gap in the bird identification literature, 18 April 2006
By Christopher J. Sharpe "Chris Sharpe" (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Due to its small size, proximity to the USA, English speaking tradition, tropical biodiversity and fairly well conserved natural environment, Belize is growing to be one of the most popular destinations for birders. However, until recently the country lacked a national field guide. This book therefore fills a major gap in the bird identification literature.

The book covers all 574 species recorded in Belize at the time of publication. After brief but informative introductory chapters, a group of 56 colour plates is dedicated to every species. As a refreshing change, all migrants are illustrated, reducing the need to carry an additional field guide to North American birds. A brief text accompanies each plate on the facing page, while the full species descriptions are found separately in the main body of text. Range maps for 234 species are found at the back of the book.

Although this book will not replace the immensely authoritative Howell & Webb's "A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America" for Belize, it is certainly a much more portable guide to carry into the field. A must for birders planning a trip to this friendly patch of Central America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Belize Field Guide, 29 Mar 2009
By Mr. Peter H. Mills (hook, hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Better late than never! Only after a recent trip to Belize did we discover this excellent guide. It really is the definitive guide today and used by all the experts we encountered. So we only got ours on return but it can inspire us to return to enjoy the special birding that Belize can offer. Thoroughly recommended.
