| | WORLDTWITCH - Belize Bird Reports, Trip Reports and Birding Information |
 | | While Belize (formerly British Honduras) has no endemic birds, it is a good place to see some widespread but infrequently observed Neotropical species such as Agami Heron, Orange-breasted Falcon and Stygian Owl, as well as regional endemics, in particular Keel-billed Motmot, Electron carinatum. |
 | | Due to its proximity to the US and English language, Belize has become a popular destination for organized birding tours, and there are a number of lodges that actively promote birding tourism. |
 | | Re the photo above: On 5 February 2000, Rick Taylor found a Harpy Eagle, Harpia harpyja, perched along the road about 2 miles north of Caracol in the Maya Mountains of western Belize, the first authenticated record for the country since 1958. |
