Yucatan Birds - Pocket Guide

With more a thousand species of birds occurring in Mexico and its neighbors, visitors to any area of Mexico will need a handy guide to the region's bird species. Birdwatchers will find examples of both temperate-zone and tropical species. Very few of these are ever found in the U.S. and only some cross the border. This practical field guide contains 140 full color illustrations as well as a handy map. The guide is laminated for durability and easily packed for travel.
