Nightbirds and Owl Prowls
| Night birding in Guatemala is an unforgettable
experience. The country is blessed with many exotic owls and other
nocturnal birds (see list). We use a variety of strategies during
our trips, including calls, tapes and a lot of quiet listening. Because
calls and tapes can stress these birds, we limit their use during breeding
season and avoid them altogether for certain sensitive or endangered
species. Likewise, we limit trips to once a month per locale. Owls |
