The gold standard, Oct 30, 2008
By bike4birds, Boise, ID

"If you're going to Mexico and you're planning on birding, this is the book you need. While it's over 10 years old, the information is still quite current. The illustrations are superb. My only criticism is that it is too big and heavy to actuqally serve as a "field" guide. Otherwise a great asset for any birder going to Mexico."

"Howell's guide to the birds of Mexico is by far the best field guide for Mexico. Webb's iilustrations are fantastic with great details to different plumages and sexes. The text is superb and readily gives need information at a glance. Even with all this praise the book has one major flaw -- no information or illustrations of North American migrants (basically any bird that breeds north of Mexico). I just got back from a two week birding trip to Mexico and eventhough it wasn't necessary to have pictures of the northern breeders it would have been nice to have access on distribution, migration times,ect... Even with the flaw Howell's guide is essential birding material and should be on every birders shelf who has an interest in neotropical nature."
