Birding tour Guatemalan highlands
Horned Guan and Blue-throated Motmot were the target species for a British birder during a short visit to the Guatemalan highlands in March 2005. The Blue-throated Motmot is a species easily detected by its far-carrying voice. To see it is not easy, because it usually hides in the understory. In an oak-conifer forest near Guatemala City we heard at least 5 individuals singing. Along the road one motmot was seen for a short while.
In the Los Tarrales reserve on Atitlan volcano we were searching for the Horned Guan. After a strenuous hike of 4 hours uphill, one adult was seen.
Other endemic species seen during this 3-days trip include: Azure-rumped Tanager, Black-capped Swallow, Rufous-browed Wren, Rufous-collared Thrush, Bushy-crested Jay, Blue-and-White Mockingbird, Highland Guan (heard), and Fulvous Owl (heard).
