[Maine-birds] Cuba

There's a Helm field guide to Cuba by Orlando H. Garrido and Arturo Kirkconnell (Cornell 2000) which has good plates and range maps.  It's softcover and 6x9 inches in format.  There may be some more recent.  Too, there is more than one guide to birds of the West Indies, including the original by James Bond.  No, I'm not kidding.  Ian Fleming was sitting in a bar in Havana one day wondering what the name of his spy hero should be.  He struck up a conversation with another at the bar, James Bond, an ornithologist.  The rest is literary and cinematic history.

I've not been to Cuba, but have friends who enjoyed their stay very much.  Have a great time!
