DUSTWRAPPER TEXT
MORE THAN A THOUSAND species of birds occur in Mexico and in the adjacent countries of Belize, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Of these birds, a unique mixture of
temperate-zone and tropical species, less than half are found in the United States, and many cross the border only a short distance into the southwestern states.
This practical field guide contains detailed annotations for easy identification of all of Mexico's regular species. The descriptions
include the English, Spanish, and Latin names; a general range statement for each bird, along with its specific occurrences in the region; its typical habitat(s) and abundance; and its physical characteristics, including size and plumage. Excellent color plates with drawings of over 850 species make this the most fully illustrated guide to the region.
