Bird Guides to Costa Rica

Currently there are two guide books to the birds of Costa Rica:

The Birds of Costa Rica: A Field Guide by Richard Garrigues (Author), Robert Dean (Illustrator). Cornell Press.

A Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica (Comstock Book) by F. Gary Stiles (Author), Alexander F. Skutch (Author), Dana Gardner (Illustrator). Cornell Press.

Both guides are good, but the guide by Garrigues and Dean is lighter and easier to carry around, although it lacks some of the information provided in the other guide.
