    Best bird guides by region...Central and South America

    The Birds of Mexico and Central America has been perfect for this trip. Very compact. I wouldn't have wanted to take another guide as size and weigh tis important to me on this trip. Great advice. Sometimes a bit hard to find a bird I've seen in there due to the sheer numbers per page but...

    I think I will get that one actually, yes. When I get to CR, I expect to be able to pick up another guide if needed. Thanks for your help Swissboy, Jim et al.

    Thanks Jim. That might be the answer. Will have to check it out. Although I may just buy one for Central America in order to save on weight. I'll be backpacking most of the time so weight is important. Thanks again

    Wow. I need too many books for this trip. I'll need to compromise and miss some out as I'm backpacking and can't carry so many books without major inconvenience. Bah.

    I'm going to travel from Cancun south to Panama from Jan 5th. I already have Sibley's Western North America guide but is it safe to say I can buy one or maybe two more books to cover the whole region? Birds of Costa Rica. And one for Cancun south?

    How useful is Sibley's Western North America for Mexico? I see that the maps cut the bottom of the country off. Are there many Mexican species not covered in the Sibley?
