Howell and Dale Dyer and Birds of Costa Rica by Dale Dyer and Steve N. It’s not clear how many of the plates have been touched up, redrawn or are new, and I hope we’ll learn more about the process, perhaps when the third book in the series by Howell and Dyer, a new guide to the birds of Mexico, is published.*

A lot of birds take a shorter trip to Florida and the Caribbean, many spend the winter in southern Mexico, and some species even fly all the way to southern Amazonia (this drink is for you Veerys). Not including the vagrants, these are the warblers that regularly frequent green space in Costa Rica: Wood-warblers of Cooler Montane Habitats.

May migration in many parts of eastern North America was and is an amazing natural celebration. In Costa Rica, well…not so much. Yes, the birding is truly exciting but we just don’t have the annual parade of breeding plumaged, singing warblers, grosbeaks, and orioles. I please guilty to being bedazzle-warbled.

The Durango Highway is arguably one of North America’s great birding roads due to the great variety of habitats, the spectacular mountain scenery of the Sierra Madre Occidental, and the numerous Mexican endemics one can target. Think Arizona meets Costa Rica with a Mexican twist. Photo by Andrew Spencer.

Before finally connecting to the South American continent about three million years ago, Central America consisted of a series of volcanic islands. One of these islands may have been the present day Northern Central American Highlands which includes Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and parts of extreme southern Mexico (Chiapas).
