Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com
Nigel Wheatley, David Brewer
This guide covers the best birding sites in Central America and the Caribbean. In a format familiar to readers of this very popular series, each site is considered in terms of Habitat, Timing, Access and Calendar, allowing birders to plan excursions to maximise the chances of getting the best out of each site and each region.

David Allen Sibley
David Sibleys new field guide to the birds of North America renders all the existing guides obsolete at one stroke. The book itself is beautifully produced and crafted - the sort of book that gives pleasure just in the handling of it.
