Synopsis
Ideal for the travelling birdwatcher, this useful guide provides a comprehensive overview of the wide variety of birdlife to be found in Costa Rica. More than 250 species are included in the book, with each description supported by a clear colour photograph taken where possible in the bird's natural Costa Rican habitat. As well as the commoner species likely to be encountered - colourful birds such as the Blue-grey Tanager, Social Flycatcher, Kiskadee, Clay-coloured Robin and Rufous-collared Sparrow - the guide also focuses on endemics, such as Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager, and endangered species, such as the Barenecked Umbrellabird and Three-wattled Bellbird. This new edition is fully updated with all the latest names and recently recognised species.
