Thanks! Since the number of birds in the Mexico guide is HUGE, this should
narrow down the time spent searching through the guidebook considerably.
I'm sure I'll enjoy the whole thing, since it's an entirely new area of the
world for me, and I may spend as much time looking at the fish as the birds!
