It treats more than 40 percent (365) of the species known from Costa Rica but is a guide to at least 75 percent of the birds commonly seen in a week or so of birding. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe photographs in the species accounts in \u003ci\u003ePhoto Guide to Birds of Costa Rica\u003c\/i\u003e are accompanied by names, measurements, field marks, habitat and behavior, voice, status and distribution, and range maps. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will also be welcomed by experienced birders in search of a companion volume to \u003ci\u003eThe Birds of Costa Rica\u003c\/i\u003e, second edition, an illustrated guide to all the birds of Costa Rica.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroductionMap of Costa RicaAnatomical FeaturesGlossarySpecies Accounts and IllustrationsTinamousCurassows, Chachalacas, GuansNew World QuailSungrebeGrebesDucksCormorantsAnhingasPelicansFrigatebirdsBoobiesGulls, Terns, SkimmersSunbitternHerons, Egrets, BitternsIbises, SpoonbillsStorksLimpkinThick-kneesPlovers, LapwingsStilts, AvocetsSandpipers, AlliesJacanasRails, Crakes, GallinulesNew World VulturesOspreyHawks, Kites, EaglesFalcons, CaracarasOwlsPotoosOilbirdNightjars, AlliesSwiftsSwallowsHummingbirdsPigeons, DovesParrotsCuckoosTrogonsMotmotsKingfishersPuffbirdsJacamarsNew World BarbetsToucan-BarbetsToucansWoodpeckersOvenbirds, WoodcreepersTypical AntbirdsAntpittasAntthrushesTapaculosTyrant FlycatchersTityras, Becards, AlliesManakinsCotingasJays Thrushes, Allies Dippers Mockingbirds Silky-flycatchersGnatwrens, GnatcatchersWrensVireos New World WarblersTanagers, Seedeaters, AlliesFinches, New World Sparrows, Allies Grosbeaks, Buntings, Allies Blackbirds, Orioles Euphonias Species Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Comstock Publishing Associates","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52653249102104,"sku":"9781501700255","price":15.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/photo-guide-to-birds-of-costa-rica-paperback-softback-9781501700255","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
