Birdwatching in Belize

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		They say that Belize is for the birds...it's true! You don't even have to go birding to see birds. Any day, wherever you are, whatever you're doing...you will see birds, even in Belize City. 15 miles from Belize City, the Bacab Eco-Park with it's varied habitats is excellent for spotting many species of birds Montezuma Oropendolas and White Collared Manakins making a racket in the riparian forest along the Belize River, Yucatan Jays in the scrub vegetation, Roseate Spoonbills in the lagoons and the very beautiful Agami Heron wading in the forest bajos. During Xmas Bird Count our team documented over 100 species in a little over one hour. Awesome!
