A Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica
by: Stiles, F Gary & Skutch, Alexander F
Costa Rica, a country of no larger than West Virginia, hosts more than
830 species of birds, more than in all of North Amerian north of Mexico.
This lavishly illustrated book, with its full coverage of waterbirds and
migrants as well as resident tropical species, and its coverage of such
topics as plumages, vocalizations, food habits, nesting, and distribution,
is truly a guide to the birds themselves, not merely a guide to their
identification. The authors discuss some aspects of evolution, ecology,
and behavior of Costa Rican birds, and report on the costly and courageous
conservation efforts the country is making in face of discouraging odds.
The family and species accounts that follow, covering some 400 pages,
make up the bulk of the book, with 52 magnificent color plates illustrating
virtually ever species of Costa Rican bird, migrants as well as residents.
There are also practical tips for trips in the field and descriptions
of good birding locations, with specific directions for travel by car,
public transport, and on foot, as well as three maps. 511 pgs.
