Bird Checklist

Birds sighted within 5 miles of Belize Botanic Gardns

The original version of this list was compiled by Ken duPlooy with the help of Steve N.G. Howell (co-author with Sophie Webb of A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America, 1995). Additional sightings have been documented by Philip Mai, the official birding nut and resident guide at duPlooy's. Many thanks are due to Nita and Clark Hamilton who have kept this list taxonomically up to date.

Taxonomic arrangement names follow The A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds, 7th edition, 1998, and Supplements.

Please report any sightings of unlisted species so that we may add them to the 300 birds on our list.
