Steve Howell has spent decades of experience in the field studying the birds of Belize, Costa Rica, and especially Mexico.

Unfortunately only a small remnant patch of forest remains here and I last visited in 2004 so I’m not sure how much of this remnant patch has fallen victim to the axe. I can speak from experience that this place should only be accessed by a 4 x 4 vehicle. End result – precious birding time lost and 43 adopted African kids.
