It may well be the only country in the world with as many bird species and habitats to be found in such a small area. Within two hours' drive from San Jose, one can see quetzals in highland forests, antbirds in lowland forests, or shorebirds and ibises in mangrove swamps. This lavishly illustrated book is the most comprehensive treatment of a rich tropical avifauna ever presented in a single volume suitable for its use in the field. With is full coverage of waterbirds and migrants as well as resident tropical species, and its coverage of such topics as plumages, vocalizations, food habits, nesting, and distribution, it is truly a guide to the birds themselves, not merely a guide to their identification. Gary Stiles and Alexander Skutch first set the stage for the birds by briefly describing the landforms, vegetation, and climates of Costa Rica. The family and species accounts that follow, covering some 400 pages, make up the bulk of the book, with 52 magnificent color plates illustrating virtually ever species of Costa Rican bird, migrants as well as residents. There are also practical tips for trips in the field and descriptions of good birding locations, with specific directions for travel by car, public transport, and on foot, as well as three maps. A highly readable, portable encylopedia to the fascinating, ever-surprising birds of Costa Rica, this book will be welcomed by birders and other naturalists, professional and amateur ornithologists, ecologists, travelers, and conservationlists throughout the northern Neotropics.

Burke 5.0 out of 5 stars I can say with some confidence that this book is a standard for learning about the birds that I found. It is thick and detailed with more information than the usual birder or even ornithologist might care to know. It is very much ABOUT Costa Rica, and the reader will doubtlessly pack it along during any trip to that Central American country.Yes, it was published in 1989, and no update is imminent (presumably).

But no birder traveling to Costa Rica should do so without this work (and Amazon offers a great price). It's also true that Garrigues and Dean have now offered a much more portable guide that can (and should) be carried in the field, and for that I'm especially grateful. The supplementary information offers an insightful view of a country that for many of us is the ultimate tropical prototype. The species profiles are detailed and yet concise, and the illustrations are both beautiful and representative. If you're a birder going to Costa Rica, don't leave home without it. One additional note - I did buy an inexpensive, worn used copy from which I had a copy service separate the plates from the text and bind each separately. The plates will accompany me in the field. Those plates will probably help me narrow down my diagnostic choices more quickly. For examples, in Garrigues-Dean I have twelve plates for woodcreepers and antbirds, while I have to peruse only four plates from Stiles-Skutch.This is a 1989 edition. Sturdy and well bound book.Range maps would have been helpful. Also, some of the taxonomy is out of date. For example, it didn’t show the blue-crowned motmot is now divided into three subspecies. Also, I saw tricolored munias, and they’re not even listed as an accidental. It was a great companion to the Merlin app, though, and I was glad to have it for my trip. It is a pretty large, heavy book for a field guide.Our professional birding guides knew the plate number and position of each bird on the plate, so this book is the standard used by all. This includes researchers in the biological stations. Many serious Costa Rican birders and others removed the plates so they would not have to lug around the entire book.The next time I go, I will do the same. You may want to purchase a new one for reference and remove the pages in another, perhaps a used tattered copy, so you can carry the plates with you.

I suggest placing them in some kind of waterproof bag, especially if you plan to be on the Carribean slope in the rain or cloud forest.Many of our naturalist guides in Costa Rica carried copies of it. Some of them had removed the plates and laminated them to make them more durable. The drawbacks are the size and weight, as well as the fact that the illustrations are not on the same page as the descriptions. It uses the same classification system as the Stiles book, but includes only the common bird varieties, and has a photo for each of them.This book is a good resource for after a day of birding.There was only one bird in adult plumage that the illustration did not match the bird very well--peg billed finch. The finch is much much darker above than the illustration. The book has it limitations. No maps for one. Before I went I wrote beside each picture the places where it might be found of those that we planned to visit. That was a great help. We saw many juveniles that we had to carefully read the descriptions of the birds in order to assure ourselves that we had gotten them correct. There are very few illustration of juveniles. And the book is BIG.Still recommended for anyone travelling to Costa Rica.For other fans of this book, you may be interested to know that one of the authors, Alexander Skutch, recently passed away at the age of 99. He was a long-time resident of Costa Rica and long admired in ornithological circles. A memorial service was held for Mr. Skutch on May 20th - his 100th birthday - at the Tropical Science Center in Perez Zeledon, in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica. Please refer to an article in The Tico Times, May 14, 2004 edition.Also, not sure why but a bunch of the colour plates were cropped - so bits of some birds are missing. Makes it look like some cheap black-market reproduction. I cross compared with a book purchased in Costa Rica, and it had the same issue, but I can't imagine the original printings were like dat.

Its intended audience are ornithologists, therefore previous comments about using it as a field guide are true yet irrelevant to any ornithologist. Also the plates are smaller, and the references near the plates are dated. For a up to date checklist: If you want a birders complete guide book written and approved by expert ornithologists, buy this one. And as a field guide, buy: Birds of Costa Rica (Helm Field Guides) which has 166 plates and 31 additional color plates. I like the additional ornithological details. This item written in English luckily, doesn't suffer from the imperial system. The insides of the cover have ways to scale the metric system with the imperial system, which from SI unit perspective is more scientific. The first section starts with geography and Climate ans subdivides with coasts and islands, mountains and valleys, lowlands and climate. Describes effort of bird conservation. Where necessary it's illustrated with monochrome pictures. There are two pages of anatomy that helps in identification. The constraints of this book: no subspecies are included. No technical Jargon. And doesn't include North American migrants. Making this arguably a birders book rather than a ornithological guide.A must for any birder visiting Costa Rica. Good as new.

John G Lumb 4.0 out of 5 stars A pro birding guide in CR suggested buying the book, removing the illustrations and having them bound for use in the field. Guides at La Selva have the plates laminated in plastic and spiral bound for easy carrying. Since it is a expensive field guide I'd suggest buying a protective cover for it. If you don't want to carry the weight, Peterson's Birds of Mexico has many of the birds you will see in Costa Rica.Den Vogelliebhabern sei geraten, beide Bucher mitzufuhren, den Garrigues im Feld, den Stiles in der Unterkunft.The only thing left after having read this book is go out and watch them, and use this book to easily identify them. You can tell the good (human) guides in Costa Rica from the bad guides by the use they make of this book: bad guides claim they don't need it; good guides now you can't do without it!The book is a bit big for backpacking, but I would not trade it for another. It was an incredible resource and the birds were awesome.Still recommended for anyone travelling to Costa Rica.For other fans of this book, you may be interested to know that one of the authors, Alexander Skutch, recently passed away at the age of 99.
