Item Description:
“Among the most eagerly awaited publishing events in ornithology . . . This book is more than a field guide to the birds, it is a complete guide to birding in Costa Rica. It is so much more comprehensive and helpful than other country field guides that it sets a new standard for field guide quality and comprehensiveness.”

—Naturalist Review

This lavishly illustrated book is the most comprehensive treatment of a rich tropical avifauna ever presented in a single volume suitable for use in the field. With its full coverage of waterbirds and migrants, as well as resident tropical species, and its discussion of such topics as plumages, vocalizations, food habits, nesting, and distribution, it is truly a guide to the birds themselves, not merely a guide to their identification.
