After a successful music career Robert Dean moved from England and has been living in Costa Rica since the early 1990s.

At that time he was relatively new to birding but took to it with a passion and learned to express that passion through art.

Robert is currently undertaking a new book on the Birds of Costa Rica. He believes that to do the birds justice, it is imperative that they are observed in the field, which he endeavors to do at every opportunity.

His Costa Rica birdsighting list stands at over 756 species.

Robert resides in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Robert has illustrated several bird guides for Costa Rica (such as the Pacific Lowlands and Pacific Coast Birds foldout pocket field guide), and bird guides for Belize, Panama, Peru, and Mexico. He just completed 1600 illustrations for the new book "Birds of Costa Rica".
