Description

The definitive photographic guide to the astounding avifauna of Costa Rica.

Birdwatching in Costa Rica is one of the world's great nature experiences, with 850 species on its national list. A place of transition between South and Central American avifaunas, spectacular birds such as toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, macaws and tanagers are abundant throughout its extensive montane forests, with further riches to be found in the coastal lowlands and wetlands.

The perfect companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of Costa Rica provides photographic coverage of 350 species regularly seen in this small yet habitat-rich country. Concise text for each species includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photograph carefully selected to aid identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites of Costa Rica is also included.

Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for any visitor to this incredible part of Central America.
