Version 2 of my book, The Birds of Las Catalinas, is finished! Even if you have no plans to visit Las Catalinas in Costa Rica, the book will be useful for anyone who plans a trip to the Guanacaste and / or the Highlands Rainforest Area. The birds will be similar, and you definitely would want to utilize the birding tools I review.
The new version of the book is greatly expanded and now has over 100 pages, organized into these sections:
- Introduction Maps and Birding Tools
- The Birds of Las Catalinas (link to town)
- Playa Potrero (link to beach)
- El Viejo Wetlands (link to Hacienda El Veijo)
- Rainforest Highlands (link to La Carolina Lodge)
- Alphabetical Index (birds by name)
The PDF version of the book includes many active web links. However, I have zero financial interest and have received no money from any of the organizations listed or linked in the book.
I have no plans to sell printed copies of the book. There will be a very limited hard copy version run for family and friends of the book, The Birds of Las Catalinas. If you want a physical copy of the book, you would need to pay me up front and contact me ASAP. Given the extremely limited number of copies being printed the book will NOT be cheap. I expect the cost to be a bit less than $100 per copy.
The free PDF download will always be available, and there is no time constraint to get your download. You will find a screenshot of the book’s index page at the bottom of this post.
