Central America - Country Comparisons

Counts and information are derived from Sibley & Monroe checklists in Thayer's Birder's Diary -
Version 2.02. "Specialities" are birds that can only be found in Central America. Note that many 
Central American species are shared only with either Mexico (North America) or Columbia (South America). 
This explains the relatively low number of "specialities". An international checklist system was required to enable world-wide country to country comparisons. Links will take you to the list of endemics and Central
American specialities for that country. Use your browser's BACK button to return to this page.
