A
Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America
by Steven N. G. Howell, Sophie Webb
Book Description: When Steve Howell first visited Mexico in November
of 1981, he arrived armed with a strong background of birding in Britain
and the Western Palearctic, and an even stronger enthusiasm for the diverse
and exotic birds of Northern Central America. But he also arrived without
an adequate field guide. Indeed, to his surprise, he found that relatively
little was known (and even less written) about the myriad of bird species
that inhabit the region stretching from the U.S.-Mexican border to Nicaragua.
And so, after eleven years of research in Northern Central America, and
with the essential collaboration of Sophie Webb--a biologist and one of
the most talented ornithological illustrators working today--we now have
the definitive guide to birds of this fascinating region. drop rest as
varied as the Laysan Albatross, the Blue-footed Booby, the Collared Trogon,
even the rare Guadalupe Storm-Petrel.
A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America is
astonishingly comprehensive, covering the identification, status, and distribution
of all 1,070 birds species known from Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador,
Honduras, and western Nicaragua. No other book approaches the thoroughness
of this unique field guide. Beautifully illustrated with seventy-one color
plates and thirty-nine black and white drawings, the guide shows 750 species
and includes many plumages never before depicted. Of special interest are
illustrations of some of the most notoriously difficult groups to portray,
such as raptors in flight, owls, and nightjars. In addition, superb, easy-to-read
maps help the traveling birder locate particular--even rare--species, and
the entries describing individual birds detail their appearance, voice,
habitat, behavior (including nesting and eggs), and distribution. With
the U.S. birder in mind, the guide also includes birds that can be seen
north of the border, showing these American migrants on plates when they
could be confused with similar Mexican species, thus enabling the birder
to make quick and ready comparisons in the field. And, with readable and
fascinating presentations of the natural history of Central American birds,
this guide will be welcomed not only by seasoned birders, but by any traveler
exploring the rain forests, coastlines, and deserts of Mexico and the Central
American isthmus.
Sponsored by the distinguished Point Reyes Observatory in California,
A
Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America is a wonderful
addition to the library of birders, nature enthusiasts, and travelers alike.
With its lavish illustrations, clear writing, and unprecedented range,
it offers hours of compelling reading and pleasant browsing for anyone
intrigued by the colorful diversity of birds and the wild, largely unspoiled
world next door.
