This is the first paperback version of the second edition of the popular A Guide to the Birds of Panama. In the second edition, published in 1989, the authors expanded information on the birds of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras: approximately 200 new species were added to the material in the 1976 edition. Over 300 additional species, some of them Panamanian, were illustrated. Sixteen new plates were added, and three of the original plates were replaced by improved versions. Throughout the book changes were made to accommodate the explosion in knowledge of the birds of Panama and nearby areas and of neotropical birds in general. The basic sequence and systematics of the AOU 1983 Check-list were adopted. Also included in the revised edition was expanded and updated information on birdfinding in Panama, prepared with the assistance of two of Panama's best resident birders. The book also contains a special section outlining developments in Panama ornithology and conservation.

Presents results of aerial surveys undertaken to determine the principal areas used by nearctic shorebirds and other species of water birds on wintering grounds on the coast of Panama. Additional information is presented on numbers and distributions of these groups of birds on the coast of the Gulf of Panama during migration periods. Surveys of wintering populations were carried out in January 1993, while surveys of populations present during southward and northward migration periods were conducted in October 1991 and February 1988 respectively. Information is also included on aerial survey methodology; the geography, physical oceanography, and climate of Panama; and coastal habitats and their distribution in Panama.
