Caribbean Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species

Caribbean Birds
I thought this guide was very helpful,well done, and inexpensive. It is fully laminated, and folded such that it is easily carried in your pocket into the field for "birding". I can't imagine anyone would be unhappy with this purchase for the price. mg

Costa Rica Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (Pocket Naturalist - Waterford Press)

James Kavanagh

Waterford Press, 2007

Good for what it is
I took this pamplet on a trip to Panama, figuring that the birds would be pretty similar, but unfortunately most birds I saw were not included in this guide. This pamphlet has 159 "familiar" species of birds, but I'm guessing they're not always common. Since I couldn't ...

Costa Rica Butterflies & Moths: An Introduction to Familiar Species (Pocket Naturalist - Waterford Press)

James Kavanagh

Waterford Press, 2007

Helpful, not comprehensive
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.

Oklahoma Birds

James Kavanagh

Waterford Press, 2001

Not an overall reference, but excellent for its purpose
You could say this publication (not really a "book") is a cow. That's because it is out-standing in the field! :-) The book is not intended as a guide to learn everything about birds, it is intended as a pocketable reference you can take with you. It fits neatly in ...

Animal Tracks: An Introduction to the Tracks and Signs of Familiar North American Species (Pocket Naturalist ...

James Kavanagh

Waterford Press, 2001

Short & to the point
