Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This is the first paperback version of the second edition of the popular A Guide to the Birds of Panama. In the second edition, published in 1989, the authors expanded information on the birds of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras: approximately 200 new species were added to the material in the 1976 edition. Over 300 additional species, some of them Panamanian, were illustrated. Sixteen new plates were added, and three of the original plates were replaced by improved versions. Throughout the book changes were made to accommodate the explosion in knowledge of the birds of Panama and nearby areas and of neotropical birds in general. The basic sequence and systematics of the AOU 1983 Check-list were adopted. Also included in the revised edition was expanded and updated information on birdfinding in Panama, prepared with the assistance of two of Panama's best resident birders. The book also contains a special section outlining developments in Panama ornithology and conservation. "A sophisticated treatment of one of the world's richest avifaunas."--The Quarterly Review of Biology



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Useless book
The book arrived without the artist's plates. I still have not heard from the company that sent the book even though I have emailed them twice. My trip to Panama was hampered because the book was defective.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Its the best they have..but....
This book apparently is the best bird guide they have for Panama but it falls short of ideal. Firstly, not all the birds of Panama are illustrated. So if you are new to the birds of that area it is best you familiarize yourself with the text and know what to expect even if you are not sure what it looks like. Your best bet however is to get someone to assist you. When i visited for the first time i went to [...] for a local guide. The second downfall of this book is that the illustrations that are ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good text marred by sub-standard illustrations
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, visual range maps, rather than textual descriptions of a bird's range, would be much quicker and easier to use.

However, I found the illustrations to be inadequate, for a number of reasons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Book, tons of information!
The book is a little large for the field, but, its the best book for the area.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - You need it for birding panama, but not in the field
It remains the only guide specific to the birds of Panama so a birder headed to that country has almost no choice but to buy a copy. However, this is a 1989 update to a work originally completed in 1974 and it is sorely lacking many features that are incorporated into the "modern" field guides published in the last decade.

Significant problems with this book that hopefully a future Panama bird guide will address:
1) There are no range maps showing the distribution of species in ... Read More
