 compact ind indespensable April 27, 2008
The existing reviews cover everything quite well. I bought this (along with the iconic Stiles & Skutch guide) in preparation for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Costa Rica. I'll be grateful for Stiles & Skutch when I return to the car or hotel room (and I've just bought a used copy from which I will separate the plates for field use), but I'm perhaps even more grateful that Garrigues and Dean have given me a compact, portable guide that will go wherever I go! Others can more adequately address the accuracy of the guide, but every comparison I've made with an illustration or informational item from Stiles-Skutch suggests that this is a credible reference work that will be indispensable for any birder traveling to Costa Rica.
 Birds of Costa Rica: A field guide March 26, 2008
Handy maps to confirm the probability of your sighting. Good pictures and short discription of where you would most likely find the bird. Short synopsis of the song.
This book is perfect February 18, 2008
Wow! This book is so much nicer than its heavy predecessor (you know which I mean). It's just so easy to use, and I love having the range map, name, description and picture all next to each other. They even repeat the name next to the picture to make scanning for a particular bird much easier. This will be the only book I plan take to Costa Rica.
Excellent reference for Birds in Costa Rica February 13, 2008
I am so delighted with this bird guide for Costa Rica. I checked out a lot of resources and this book is ideal for it's size, information and ease in identifying a bird. Each bird has a map showing where it lives in the country, with excellent color plates for identification. Any birder would enjoy this book.
Birds of Costa Rica January 27, 2008
The book is beautiful, with many gorgeous plates of the birds. Easy to use, and should be a real help on our tour of Costa Rica in 2 months.
