Belize 2003 - Bird List

  

This wasn't solely a birding trip, although we did quite a bit of birding. For those interested, we saw 134 species, heard 5 more, and 1 in square brackets that shouldn't be in Belize. We saw this species/phase of Trogon in Costa Rica. There is argument about whether it is a species or just a colour variation of the Collared Trogon.

Ones that were new to me have an asterisk beside their names. Ones we heard have their names in parentheses.
