The Yellowthroat group is an odd collection of bird species. The one migratory species, aptly named the Common Yellowthroat , can be seen almost anywhere in North America.

This is when we might see the greatest variety and numbers of wood-warblers, where we can watch dizzying groups of swallows zip through the skies as kettles of Turkey Vultures , and Broad-winged and Swainson’s Hawks flow towards South America. By morning, they are probably in Panama.

May might be when the biggest of Global Big Days happens but that magical month for migration isn’t the most speciose time for birding in Costa Rica, nor other places in Latin America. Oh, it’s damn good alright but more birds are possible at some other times of the calendar.

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).

I’m focusing on Turkey Vultures here because they are undoubtedly the species most birders in North America (the home of 10kB) are most familiar with, but the name vulture applies to birds found around the globe.

Howell and Jon Dunn list “overall size and structure” as the fundamental first step in gull identification in their classic Gulls of the Americas (though they then go on to describe endless variations of plumage patterns).

A bird of lowland and foothill rainforest, the Yellow-throated Toucan can be seen in most parts of the Caribbean slope and from the Carara area south to Panama.

It’s fierce because a procession of kites flock their way through the Caribbean lowlands in groups that number in the hundreds, even thousands. Large groups of nighthawks have been seen flying during the day, and other birds that winter in South America are just starting to move through in huge numbers.

In writing my new book Hoodwinked (Random House, Nov 2009 publication date), I recently visited Central America. Memories are short in the US, but not in Central America. The cozy relationship between Honduras’s military coup leaders and the corporatocracy were confirmed a couple of days after my arrival in Panama. 3) George W.
