1.A Guide to the Birds of Costa RicaA Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica
from Christopher Helm Publishers Ltd

Customer Review:
gotta have one for going to Costa Rica. All the color plates are in the center of the book, with the written descriptions spread out. Come to think of it, for a medium birder in a strange place, that might work out ok for checking out the pictures quickly to match with a new bird. I'll give it a... more info

2.Costa Rica (Travellers Wildlife Guides)Costa Rica (Travellers Wildlife Guides)
from Arris Books
Price: $167.94

Customer Review:
I found this book only really useful for mammals. I had to supplement this book for amphibians, reptiles, and especially for birds. I found it is really only good for 'popular species' of the non-mammals. If you are a casual naturalist and only want to bring one book, it is ok, but if you trying to... more info

3.A Guide to the Birds of PanamaA Guide to the Birds of Panama
from Princeton University Press
Price: $34.65

Customer Review:
As other reviewers have noted, the text here is generally good, if a bit dated. I'm certain that there's more information on behavior, vocalizations, etc., than there were 2 decades ago when the latest edition was published, and it would be quite helpful to have this information included. Also,... more info

We have just got this through on Amazon and I feel like I'm back in Costa Rica again - my wife and I had two vacations there in 2005 and 2007.

from Duke University Press
Price: $12.95

Customer Review:
Rarely does an anthology of original documents of historical value mingled with insightful interpretative essays come together as a coherent work. Steven Palmer and Iván Molina, against those odds, have put the ball in the back of the net with just such a book.

Customer Review:
After spending a month in Costa Rica, traveling with Ticos from farm to farm. I read this book when I came back to the states, it filled in so many gaps in my experience as well explained local customs in a more formal sense. Its great introduction to Costa Rican history, government, local mores and... more info

Price: $24.50

Customer Review:
I read the reviews and thought this book would not be complete, but I didn't expect it to be this empty. As another reviewer said, it's about the birds of Costa Rica. The information about other wildlife is lacking (and you can get the same basic ID info with the "Costa Rica Wildlife: An... more info

from Ralph Curtis Pub
Price: $12.95

Customer Review:
I purchased this bird guide among others prior to taking a summer birding tour in Costa Rica.
