Birds of Mexico
and Belize

Mexico has been a favorite birding and photography destination for me since 1979. Living in Texas has allowed me to visit this country on many occasions to observe wildlife. My travels have included nearly a dozen trips to Chiapas, as well as many trips to Oaxaca, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, San Luis Potosi, and Nuevo Leon. I have also been to the states of Mexico D.F., Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, Yucatan, and Veracruz. So far my only trip to Belize was in December, 1999. More photos will be added here soon.
