Review
“Waterford Press offers . . . different titles such as Backyard Birds and Birds of Prey . . . although these contain only simple listings of the most common types in your area, it’s amazing how many species they pack into these inexpensive heavy duty cards. An added benefit is that they can be folded to create a book-like spine for easy display.”

“There are dozens of these stunningly illustrated pocket guides to nature. They easily fit in a shirt pocket with space left for note paper and pen. While you won’t want to discard your bulky bird, flower, tree, etc. books, these are ideal casual identification guides. In addition to the illustrations, there is enough descriptive material on each species to key in on and then follow- up when it is convenient to scour the books for greater details and confirmation. If we ran a store that catered to outdoor enthusiasts, we’d sure have some of these in the rack.”

Helpful, not comprehensive,
This review is from: Costa Rica Butterflies & Moths: An Introduction to Familiar Species (International Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
On my visit to Costa Rica, this was helpful in identifying butterflies and moths, of which there are many, many species. This laminated card contains many of those I saw, but, of course, was far from a comprehensive guide. It is sturdy and fits easily in a backpack.

This review is from: Costa Rica Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (International Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
The pocket guide is just as promised, an easily carried introductory guide to the more familiar Costa Rican bird species. Don't expect to get the same information and detail as in a softcover or hardcover book, but the guide appears to be durable and easy to carry in any pocket. The last time we were in Costa Rica we lugged a hardcover birding guide along and got smart this time for our trip down to the Osa Peninsula.

This review is from: Costa Rica Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (International Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
Costa Rica is not Panama, so it seems an unfortunate yardstick for a reviewer to be upset because this excellent guide for Costa Rica doesn't work in Panama. Duhd!
Being an author of field guides myself, I just had to speak up in defense of this one in the face of a slightly negative review posted here, which is based upon another country's birds!!
