The first is that the illustrations by Dale Dyer are based, and largely seem to be the same, as the illustrations for his previous guide Birds of Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama (co-authored with Andrew Vallely, PUP, 2018). Why are these issues? © 2023 by Steve N. Not every bird.

The birding around Lago de Yojoa in Honduras is frankly phenomenal, as I learned during a June 2018 birding junket organized by the Instituto Hondureño de Turismo. Since he first started walking his property, he’s located a slew of species so exciting that birders are starting to turn up at his doorstep. EL RANCHO HOTEL Y RESTAURANTE.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Bushy-crested Jay , one of quote a few fine species he spotted while exploring the area around Copan Ruinas in Honduras. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?

These thoughts crossed my mind as I returned from a week of birding bliss as a guest of the Honduras Institute of Tourism. The Tern colonies in Queens didn’t produce anything but the expected species but Gull-billed Terns , Corey’s first of the year, were a pleasure to see loafing on a mudflat at Big Egg Marsh. How about you?

There are three species of crow-like cotingas with odd hairdos known as umbrellabirds, the Bare-necked Umbrellabird is the one that lives in Costa Rica. During a memorable guiding trip in June, we hit the jackpot with all three species of hawk-eagles in just a few days. These are some of mine: The umbrellabird.

Copan, Honduras, February 2009 A word of warning: this is going to be a rather long post so go grab a snack and make yourself comfortable before you start reading. Of course, it was a Roadside Hawk that several had already seen and identified, perhaps my worst identification mix-up of the whole trip to Honduras.

Having never birded in Mexico at all I was initially concerned about identifying the myriad species that can be seen. But my experiences in Belize and Honduras give me a good basis in the birds of the region and I have plenty of time to study and learn what to expect with the endemics.

Florida is a great place to bird in January because in addition to the year-round species there are a host of birds that winter in the relatively balmy climate that Florida has in winter. Ever since I met Julie in Honduras back in 2009 I have wanted to get out birding with her again. Get my Florida list to 180 species.

The very first thing we notice about this large member of the Galliformes is that there is a wild version and a domestic version, and although the two are rather different, they are both given the same species name, Meleagris gallopavo.

The experience is one of the ornithological highlights in the world. The field site I am assigned to is located in one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and home to a particularly rich avifauna that numbers well over 500 species. That’s right – birds eating clay. Scarlet Macaws.
