Using colourful stories and beautiful photographs, the itinerary-formated
tours in this guide will teach you where to find North America's birding
hotspots. The pages will show you where and when you can find
800-plus of the 912 species officially recorded within the ABA area more
efficiently. This guide is an introduction only to the twelve geographical
regions you must visit to discover all of the regularly occurring ABA
species - the maximum number of species at the minimum number of
sites. Redundant regions have been eliminated, areas which do not harbour
species that can be seen elsewhere. Unlike other birdfinding guides, this book
contains a wealth of logistical information which is required to bird these
sites, with accommodations, air services, associations, boats and pelagic trips,
books, car rental, and telephone hotlines. A full ABA Checklist compliments the
guide. Although written primarily for novices, anyone will find this guide
useful.
This updated version of the original "A Birders Guide to Costa Rica" covers all of the countries birding sites. The new format includes colourful photographs and many new full-colour maps. The guide is introduced with chapters treating the countries habitats and their bird specialties and the countries endemic and near-endemic's. Over sixty sites follow with special attention given to directions, logistics and birdfinding. The special accommodations section lists 80 hotels and eco-lodges that both birders and eco-tourists will find very useful. Many are illustrated with photographs and contain brief descriptions, logistics and prices. A wealth of logistical information needed to visit Costa Rica follows with air services, boats and pelagic trips, books, car rental, communications, itinerary, safety, and time to come. The most comprehensive Regional Checklist available for Costa Rica compliments the guide and ends with a Species Index. Sample Pages
