Ebird Guatemala


Ebird is an extraordinary tool for birders and a great opportunity to share with all the World the bird richness in Guatemala. This is a program from Cornell Lab of Ornithology and started as a mechanism for US birders to report what they found in their birding fieldtrips and started to grow to the most important birding hotspots out of the United States. A few months ago a group of birders in Guatemala led by Carol C. Anderson implemented Ebird Guatemala in order to report accurately observations made in our country.
This portal let you send your observations in each place and keep a record of your lifelist, bird list for that place, historical reports and let other birders use that information to prepare charts with frequencies, distributions, etc.
Please visit the website and join us to have better information of bird populations in Guatemala.

This is the first time we have an electronic registry of bird lists of Guatemala.

Well, we started to dream the ideal schedule to watch all the motmot species in the country. There are nine motmot species and more of them are easy to watch in Guatemala. For those who are not familiarized with motmots they have the unique characteristic to develop a racket-like rectris feathers. This family can be watched only in America and they originated in Mesoamerica in some recent point no more than 30 million years. Turquoise-browed Motmot tail. All motmot tail feathers have different blue tones. Early in the 20 century there was scientific observations which wrongly lead to the conclusion that motmots work out in sha
