Central America is a birder’s paradise that holds close to 10 percent of all the world’s bird species, and Honduras is right in the middle of it. For the international community of birders, Honduras has always been shrouded in mystery and has only just begun to be discovered. It currently has almost 750 bird species, including many prized Mesoamerican endemics, such as the coveted Ocellated Quail, Keel-billed Motmot, and Lovely Cotinga, and the country’s only known endemic, the Honduran Emerald. The country boasts the highest percentage of forest cover in Central America and an extensive but underutilized national park system. Robert will be showing a series of vivid photos that feature the country´s wonderful birds and many natural areas
