  The Republic of Costa Rica ("rich coast") is bordered by Nicaragua, Panama, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Costa Rica abolished its army in 1949 and is an oasis of peace and tranquility in Central America. Democracy, a policy of neutrality and exemplary environmental standards (approx. 25% of the country is protected as national parks and nature reserves, 5% of the world's biodiversity is to be found here) have ensured this paradise remains pristine, indeed the country has seen a boom in ecotourism in recent years. The vegetation varies from evergreen rainforests, mangrove swamps and oak forests to pampa and is the natural habitat of a wide variety of animals and plants. The face of the country is dominated by wide strips of cultivated land where tropical fruits and spices, used in Costa Rica's diverse and delicious cuisine, are grown. The colloquial term for a native of Costa Rica is "Tico" or "Tica", the local language is Spanish, "Pura Vida" being the omnipresent motto that pervades life for the approx. 4.3 million people who live here.

  Graced with bounteous natural beauty Costa Rica has become a popular destination for travelers from all over the world. Birds play a prominent role in attracting visitors, too. The shimmering quetzals, gaudy macaws, and comical toucans that populate tourism posters only begin to hint at the impressive avian diversity to be found throughout this small country. The principle objective of this book is to help you correctly identify birds in Costa Rica. Each family of birds is introduced by a brief description that should help the novice birder determine to which group a bird belongs. Nearly every species is illustrated by one or more images, as needed. Corresponding to each species' illustration is a written account on the facing page. The account begins with the unique field marks to look for that will distinguish each species from similar ones. Following the description of unique markings is information about how common a species is and where it occurs geographically. To the left of most accounts is a thumbnail map of Costa Rica showing the species' range within the country. Many species accounts include a description of vocalization.
