5 out of 5 stars Costa Rica is Costa Rica   January 19, 2009

Costa Rica is not Panama, so it seems an unfortunate yardstick for a reviewer to be upset because this excellent guide for Costa Rica doesn't work in Panama. Duhd!

Being an author of field guides myself, I just had to speak up in defense of this one in the face of a slightly negative review posted here, which is based upon another country's birds!!



5 out of 5 stars Excellent, lightweight, handy   January 19, 2009

You get what you buy, and this is as advertised. People that complain about being surprised they aren't holding a 300-page field guide in their hands when they receive this are apparently unable to read the clear description on this page.

Excellent, lightweight, and exactly what it says it is.

This is a handy little guide that can be kept in the car or camera bag for quick reference. I was pleased to identify a moth that I couldn't find in my other books.

Very good book for the price. This is one of those booklets that can stay close to your window, as you watch the butterflies. This isn't too detailed, easy for beginning butterfly watchers to use.

5 out of 5 stars It's a laminated brochure of sorts - not a paperback book   December 25, 2008
South Texas Girl (Houston)
Cute little quick-guide thingy. I was expecting a pocket-sized paperback, but this looks like it's going to be 'as handy as a pocket on a shirt.' It's like one of those laminated street maps, but smaller & sparce on information... more of a quick reference for sightings on the fly (so to speak.)
