An open letter to the authors of Where to Watch Birds in Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean

[XemaSab]

It's really sort of lame and unnecessary that you constantly compare the birding in Central America and the Caribbean to the birding in South America in the introduction.

I know that South America has more bird species.

If I wanted to go to South America, then I would be reading a book on birding in South America.

I recently hit 600 for the United States (out of about 670), and I have decided that my next undertaking will be to bird Central America. When I have seen most of the birds in Central America, then I will go to South America.

But for now, I am interested in birding Central America. Therefore, it is not necessary for you to tell me that I could see WAY the hell more birds in Colombia or Peru.

That is all. :)
