An authoritative pocket guide to the birds of Costa Rica, ideal for the travelling nature watcher, provides a comprehensive overview of the variety of bird-life to be found in this beautiful country. Over 250 native species are included in the book, each description supported by a clear colour photograph taken in the bird's natural Costa Rican habitat. As well as the commoner species likely to be encountered, such as 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 the Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager, and endangered species, such as the Bare-necked Umbrellabird and Three-wattled Bellbird. Illustrated with clear colour photography and brief but authoritative descriptions, the Pocket Photo Guides highlight the species of birds and animals from each region that the traveller is most likely to see, as well as those that are genuinely endemic (only to be seen in that country or region) or special rarities. The genuine pocket size allows the books to be carried around on trips and excursions and will take up minimal rucksack and suitcase space.
