This book is a good addition to any bird watcher in the Puerto Rico area. However I must rate it low, due to relative reality that unless one is planning on traveling to outside the local cities that composes Puerto Rico. You wont find much in variety among birds and therefore for your casual bird watcher just makes for some attractive pictures in a book.
