 Good novice bird field guide! August 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this bird guide among others prior to taking a summer birding tour in Costa Rica. I found it a little helpful to study the photos of the birds prior to the trip, but after a few days I put it away to continue study of the full field guide, The Birds of Costa Rica, a field guide by Richard Garrigues. Basically, this is a novice bird watchers guide to some of the most common birds in Costa Rica. This could be what you are looking for, if so you may be satisfied with this book. I ended up not even taking this book with me on the trip. This would not be the guide you would wish to purchase if you are a serious birder.
 Great pocket guide! October 31, 2006

I didn't want to lug around a big book for our trip to Costa Rica, so I ordered this small guide, hoping it would do. It was terrific - in fact, all our Costa Rican guides coveted it. Almost every bird we saw was in it. There is only one hummingbird and one egret I couldn't find in it, and we saw at least 45 different species. It fit in the pocket of my cargo pants, and it was easy to pull it out and quickly find each bird. I highly recommend this guide if you will be visiting Costa Rica.

This is a good bird book for Costa Rica. It uses the Stiles and Skutch classification system. Uses real bird photographs. It does not contain every bird but the 252 species within the book are the ones most likely to be seen. It is easy to read and helpful and does not weigh a ton like the other Costa Rica birding books. I highly recommend it. You can buy it in the Juan Santamaria airport and in some resorts.
