Graced with bounteous natural beauty, Costa Rica has become a popular destination for travellers from all over the world. Birds play a prominent role in attracting visitors, too. The shimmering quetzals, gaudy macaws and comical toucans that populate tourism posters only begin to hint at the birdlife to be found throughout this small country. In terms of avian diversity, Costa Rica is the richest country on earth.
Following on a decade from the second edition, this fully revised and updated third edition of Birds of Costa Rica features all 943 species recorded in the country, including endemic, breeding and migrant species. Each family of birds is introduced by a brief description, and every species is depicted on a series of brilliant colour plates. More than 1,100 brand-new illustrations show plumage differences among males, females and juveniles.
The written account for each species features field marks description and information about status, distribution and vocalisation, along with updated distribution maps, making this field guide the perfect companion for anyone visiting Costa Rica.
