Mexican bird book

Going to Mexico in May to the Yucatan coast, Not a birding holiday as going with my wife, but if I was to just happen to have my Bins in the suitcase, can anyone recommend a book that may just happen to be in the suitcase also.

As a lightweight basic field guide:

van Perlo 2006. A Field Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Central America. Collins.

For much greater detail (but plates omit some common North American species):

Howell & Webb 1995. A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America. OUP.

For birdfinding (includes 10 key sites in the Yucatán Peninsula):

Howell 1999. Where to watch birds in Mexico. Helm.

Cheers Richard, I will search Amazon tonight. (the online book store not the river, that would be another trip altogether)
