Raptors of Mexico and Central America by William S. This is the first identification guide that I know of that covers Mexico (technically North America but rarely included in North American raptor guides) and Central America. The colors are rich, much deeper and beautiful than the muted inks in my copy of Hawks of North America.

I still know my audience - this is primarily a blog read by birders in North America, who see the term “squirrel” as little more than a synonym for house sparrow, starling, pest and cholera. Germany, like most of Europe and very much unlike North America, is home to only one species of squirrel. So to speak.

Birders in the Americas may not be aware of it, but from the higher ground of a European perspective the American “warblers” are intensely overrated.
