May I recommend an economical way to bird Belize. The Program for Belize was first initiated by the Nature Conservancy and the Mass. Audubon Society. They have two research stations that allow ecotourists to stay in their facilities. La Milpa and Hillbank are in the Rio Bravo Conservation area of Belize. Sid and I were the only tourists and had 100 % attention from the two guides that were excellent birders. If interested, contact me and I will give more info. Thanks to those of you who advised me on field guides, etc. to take along.
