A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America 26 reviews
Steve N.G. Howell, Sophie Webb
Oxford University Press, USA, 1995
the authority for N Middle America
+ Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America
+ using Howell & Webb in the field
By far the only field guide worth taking into northern Middle America. Thorough in coverage; mostly accurate plates and range maps. The size is not convenient, but the other guides (Peterson, Edwards, Princeton Checklist) don't come close.
