Please publish a book on birds of Mexico like your Birds of North America - which is excellent

January 12, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Photos are all bunched in the middle of the book, instead the wise way - next to the descriptions. Most birders agree that someone needs to come out with a decent book on birds of Mexico. The other choice is way too big and heavy and also has the photos in the middle of the book. National Geographic: Please publish a book on birds of Mexico like your Birds of North America - which is excellent.

Book had a lot of information and the picture were very good.

Recd on time. Went on a Mission Trip to Guatemala for one week. Did not really have a lot of time for birding but was able to get one lifer. I would take this with me if I had more time to bird but there was a lot of work with the mission to really do a lot of birding. Book had a lot of information and the picture were very good.

Good drawings but no bird maps.

There are no bird maps in this book, and that makes it a whole lot harder to use.

Outdated but still useful.

April 4, 2018

We found this guide very helpful on our recent trip to Mexico. We had very low expectations because the reviews were not good, but found it met our needs well for helping distinguish similar species. Names have changed but it wasn't hard to figure out.

An unpleasant surprise

May 3, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I assumed any Peterson guide would be good enough to provide a solid field reference. This was an unpleasant surprise -- it is well short of the mark. For starters, approximately a sixth of the book was bound upside down. (I did not have enough time before my trip to return it.) Next, the number of plates seems particularly limited and, finally, the number of birds covered seems far too limited. The first two entries I went to while in the field irritatingly simply referenced other Peterson guides with no further detail. Note to publisher: this diminishes the Peterson brand.

Native or stray?

November 13, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I highly recommend this book, especially for those who live near the border with Mexico. That strange bird you saw in your back yard may not be someone's pet parakeet that escaped its cage; it could be a stray from Mexico which you will not find in any of your other bird books. Ditto for lots of other birds.

Besides, if you just like to look at pictures of birds, there are some beautiful birds here.

Just what I needed

November 1, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As an avid North American Birder, I needed a Field Guide like this one since I'll be traveling on the Yucatan during January. The illustrations are very detailed and the species write-ups are thorough. I never expected to have the thrill of birding in Mexico and this short trip is a dream come true. This Bird Field Guide will be with me every minute of the trip.

An aging classic

This one is a must for any birding library. I have consulted in many times over the years, in the field and in the comfort of the home library.
