Central America is much smaller than the land encompassed within the borders of Canada and the USA. After a brief look at a map, my rough guesstimate is that the territory from Guatemala and Belize south to the Darien gap is roughly equal to New England, or Florida and the eastern parts of Georgia and the Carolinas north to the Virginia line.

It actually makes a lot of sense, the geographic features of the isthmus between North America (including Mexico, because Mexico is part of North America) and South America cut across political lines, as do birds. It is the first bird field guide to every country of Central America (plus the islands governed by those countries).

The first is that the illustrations by Dale Dyer are based, and largely seem to be the same, as the illustrations for his previous guide Birds of Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama (co-authored with Andrew Vallely, PUP, 2018).

Many studies have shown that a life rich in new experiences, and especially learning a new language late in life, can help stave off the onset of dementia.

Most of our readers are not likely to be able to ID this bird, because it only occurs in Mexico and Guatemala. But previous experience with Ejido Triquillo taught me that another species might turn up during the spring. And when I got home, they showed exactly what I needed to confirm my ID: See it? That’s a Hooded Grosbeak !

In this first installment, I will focus on my impressions and experiences in the highlands portion of our tour. Before finally connecting to the South American continent about three million years ago, Central America consisted of a series of volcanic islands. This is a fascinating area of transition.
