SAN IGNACIO RESORT HOTEL’S Bird Count 2016 Foreword The San Ignacio Resort Hotel is ideally located along the foothills of the Maya Mountains, nestled between the Mopan and Macal Rivers in the Western most region of Belize, the Cayo District. This region is an area where many farms, grassland pastures and forested areas cover rolling hills— providing a suitable home to diverse groups of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish, insects and birds. This list has been compiled as a result of observations conducted on the Resort grounds along the Medicinal Trails of the Hotel’s nature reserve and the Macal River. The observations were conducted in a systematic way which enabled the participants to identify specific habitat to certain species of birds. This effort, with the help of some of San Ignacio’s avid birdwatchers (names below), has given light to the following list of bird species. It is our hope that this Bird Count will be helpful for your visit to this part of Belize. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
