hello
I am planing to visit the Neotropics next your, either Costa Rica or Ecuador.
For Costa Rica I found this book:
http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/cup_detail.taf?ti_id=1430
A GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF COSTA RICA
F. Gary Stiles; Alexander F. Skutch
this seems to be the standard work. do you know if the book is really as good as some say and if it is still valid after 15 years since its publication.
there is a new book coming next year:
http://www.acblack.com/Catalogue/de...id=2&mscssid=CVH1PTQVB4GB9K2V2EW3WMRRV2TN7XFA
but I do not wand to wait that long.
any other good books on Costa Rica Birdlife (or Mammals) ??
Markus
