Clements Bird List - 223 species and counting

We are up to 223 species we have seen on our excursions from Tranquilo Bay.

We have added a bird list to match the format of the Clement's 6.5 Bird List. The most established resource on the taxonomy and biogeography of birds for the world birding community, The Clements Checklist is the official world checklist of the American Birding Association (ABA) and is used as the authoritative reference in the birding competitions and listing activities of this preeminent North American organization for serious birders.



We also still have the Bird List based upon The Birds of Panama. We are working from the 1992 edition of the book. We have the December 2010 version of the book you see below on its way to us.



The Birds of Panama is the one field guide the novice or experienced birder needs to identify birds in the field in Panama's diverse habitats. George Angehr is a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama and the coauthor of A Bird-Finding Guide to Panama, also from Cornell. Robert Dean is the coauthor of The Wildlife of Costa Rica: A Field Guide and the illustrator of The Birds of Costa Rica: A Field Guide, both from Cornell.
