Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of Northern Central America (Peterson Field Guides)

Up to date and comprehensive with good illustrations.

My husband loves this book

This new guide is a must for birders visiting the region. It includes 4 countries (more info for your money), very comprehensive: includes habitat descriptions, quick index, range maps and beautiful plates among other things. What I love about this new book as compared to older guides is that it is very complete and practical to use!!,when identifying a bird the page includes a range map, detailed description of the bird, and it is next to the drawing, no more going back and forth to see the plate and read the description and range!The authors did a great job on this well thought and laid out guide!

Finally, an up-to-date field guide to the birds of Northern Central America that’s easily portable and user friendly - I just wish I’d learned of this before I went on a birding trip to Guatemala! This is a very useful guide, with good illustrations, descriptions, and range maps. (Don’t be surprised if you buy a new copy and it looks like there’s a coffee stain on the upper right-hand corner; this is just how it was designed, for reasons known only to the graphic designer.)

I'm probably spoiled with Sibley's field guides, but I would have liked a bird book with more photos of each bird as juveniles, males, and females to make it easier to identify the birds. Instead, this book had multiple species lumped together on a single page.

This compact guide is very well done and includes many recent records, expanding the avian knowledge of this under-birded region. Everything you might possibly see in the region is illustrated (unlike some of the region's older field guides). For example, I much prefer it to the older (and heavier!) Howell guide. Plates are mostly well drawn and my only quibble is a fairly small font size.

This book was purchased to replace a earlier version of the field guide lost in a move.I look forward to having a quick reference again.

Used this on a trip to Belize and was very impressed with it. The pictures and descriptions were accurate and very useful for identifying birds we saw. I was able to identify several birds I'd never seen or heard of before by just paging through the book, which is impossible if the illustrations aren't just right. The compact size is convenient to carry in the field without sacrificing usability.

El libro está en formato de las guías Peterson, compacto, media carta, ideal para llevar al campo o en la mochila.Las ilustraciones son útiles y las descripciones también. Está actualizada y creo que es una buena guía para personas que van empezando a mirar aves. El rango geográfico que abarcan los registros está enfocado en Belice, Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras.

Exelente libro para especies que se distribuyen al sureste de México y centroamérica buenas ilustraciones y exelentes mapas de distribución

Excelente guía para pajarear en el sureste de México y Guatemala.

Fàcil de encontrar, però llego un poco doblada

Es una guía bastante fácil de usar, actualizada y las descripciones son muy buenas, su tamaño la hace ideal para el campo. Espero que pronto saquen una especialmente de México con la misma calidad.. Saludos.
