Editorial Review:

Product Description:
With a rich variety of stunning avifauna, Mexico provides the first taste of the Neotropics for many birders. At last here is a guide to Mexico's best birdwatching sites, from Baja California to the Yucatan Peninsula. Steve N. G. Howell, coauthor of the widely acclaimed A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America, has selected over 100 sites where birders may see more than 950 species, including virtually all of the endemics and regional specialties. Useful for both the business traveler in Mexico City with only a morning to spare and the serious birder planning a three-month trip across the country, this indispensable book tells where to go and what to look for.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must have for Birding in Mexico
An excellent resource with driving directions, location specifics. Heck I use it all the time - Enough Said, Right!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best thing available I could find
Although it is 10 years old we found Howell's guide very useful in terms of both identifying groups of birds likely to be found in various habitats via checklist format as well as the specific routes to be taken. His advice to search out your own remains most useful but for a novice such as myself the book is a great framework.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book!!
Bought this book as it was recommended on various websites as a guide for birding in Mexico. Upon browsing through this book it looks like a great reference guide for our birding trip to San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico this winter.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great resource (but hoping for an update)
Some publishers get carried away with the practice of issuing new edition to field guides, often with only incremental changes. I believe that Howell's & Webb's 1995 guide to Mexican birds remains the definitive identification guide for that country; if any "change" is contemplated, I hope it's the release of a more portable version suitable for field use (see the Sibley field guides to eastern and western North America as examples of compact books adapted from a larger identification guide).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent - but now somewhat outdated
I used this book recently on a nine day birding trip to Colima and San Blas. Overall, it is quite excellent, but users should be aware that much of the practical information is now seriously outdated (the book was last revised in 1999). Especially if you plan to follow the driving directions to specific, sometimes very out of the way locations, you will need to double check these somehow before setting off otherwise you could find yourself seriously lost.
