Birds in Central America & the Caribbean
Nigel Wheatley, David Brewer:
Buy from Amazon.com

This guide covers the best birding
sites in Central America and the Caribbean. In a format
familiar to readers of this very popular series, each
site is considered in terms of 'Habitat', 'Timing',
'Access' and 'Calendar', allowing birders to plan excursions
to maximise the chances of getting the best out of each
site and each region. The book includes detailed maps
of the larger sites, plus general maps of the regions
covered, and it is illustrated with line drawings. |
Recommended travel books for Antigua

Having been on
the island for a while, the guide became invaluable
whist out there and covered much that you could easilly
miss without it - from the sites at places such as
Nelsons Dockyard to the everyday oddities on Antigua
such as service charges and tax, the book has it all.
