We leave in a few weeks for our trip to Honduras...will be at Pico Bonito and around Copan Ruinas. Totally confused as to which field guide would be best. I've got Howell & Webb's Mexico/Central America and it will surely come, but its not very portable in the field. We also have: Van Perlo, Birds of Mexico & Central America; the Edwards Mexico guide (not great); the Ridgely Panama & Central America guide. And the old Peterson Mexican Birds as well.
The guide at Pico Bonito told me that they use the Garrigues Birds of Costa Rica guide, but I'm skeptical that will have everything. And its the one book I don't own (but if it is most useful, I would buy it...)
Thoughts?
