Maslow does a fine job of presenting his quest for the the magnificent quetzal, legendary bird of the Mayans. The book chronicles not only his search for the bird & aspects of its natural history, but presents encounters with many other birds of Central America as well. Home to some wondrous birds in the almost magical rain forests, Maslow shows tho that the avifauna & the land they inhabit are threatened by unstable politics, unchecked population growth & deforestation. A must read for any interested in birds south of the border.—Tim F. Martin (edited)
