This is not a birding field guide, but a helpful guide to quite a few Costa Rica birding sites. Very good descriptions of sites included (including some information not available elsewhere) but many other places were not covered. The author\'s assessments are useful.

More than 180 species are endemic to this region.

This is the first really comprehensive, backback-suitable wildlife guide for ecotouring in Costa Rica that I\'ve come across. It combines information from the best possible sources and includes much of what you are likely to encounter in various regions of the country. Well-organized and easy to use, this is a must-carry reference guide!
