In-depth field guide to the 1,070 bird species, including North American migrants, found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras and western Nicaragua. Species accounts describe appearance, voice, habitat, behaviour (including nests and eggs) and distribution. Range maps and notes on distinguishing similar species are also included. Introductory chapters give essential background information for birdwatching in this area.
`Everyone interested in neotropical birds should own this book for its authoritative text and outstanding field identification plates. These beautiful and accurate paintings mark an impressive debut for Sophie Webb, one of America's best young ornithological artists. Anyone who knows birds can see at once that Webb has been in the field for countless hours, sketching and observing. Particularly well done are some notoriously difficult groups to portray, such as raptors in flight, owls, and nightjars.' Albert Earl Gilbert.
