The definitive photographic guide to the astounding avifauna of Costa Rica.

Birdwatching in Costa Rica is one of the world's great nature experiences, with 850 species on its national list. A place of transition between South and Central American avifaunas, spectacular birds such as toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, macaws and tanagers are abundant throughout its extensive montane forests, with further riches to be found in the coastal lowlands and wetlands.

The perfect companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of Costa Rica provides photographic coverage of 350 species regularly seen in this small yet habitat-rich country. Concise text for each species includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photograph carefully selected to aid identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites of Costa Rica is also included.

Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for any visitor to this incredible part of Central America.

Michael and Patricia Fogden lived in Costa Rica for many years, documenting the wildlife of one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Photographers, authors and former research scientists, they spent their working lives specialising in the natural history of Neotropical rainforests. Their photographs have appeared in numerous calendars and books, and in 2008 they received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA).
