My first time to post on Birdforum as a new member. I'm still trying to find my way around the site, but will figure it out sooner or later. I'm anxious to learn more.

If anyone has ideas on a good bird guide in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, I'd appreciate contact info. I'm getting desperate.

Along with posting the request in the Information Wanted subforums ( here's a link to the RFI Mexico), you can also use the site search tool (top right of screen) and search terms like Mexico, Yucatan, etc. and you'll find quite a few trip reports and other info.

For books the best field guide is Steve Howell's 'A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America'. For a bird finding guide, same author titled 'A Bird-Finding Guide to Mexico'. Both books are excellent. A North American Field Guide that covers shorebirds and neotropic migrants could also be helpful. Both the Sibley's and Peterson's Eastern NA guides would cover all these.

See the links below for some trip reports I posted:

Cozumel & Coba

Calakmul

And welcome to the Birdforum!
