Our Opinion: This book begins with a very useful introduction to Belize History, Geography and Ecology, Birding Suggestions, Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibians, Getting There and Around; Where to Stay; Travel Tips; How to Use This Guide; Recommended Readings; and Supplemental Material. It also includes a complete Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Belize; Bar graphs of Seasonal Abundance; Habitats and Ecoregions; Mammals, Amphibians, and Reptiles of Belize; References, and an Index of Birding Sites. It is completed with an Index and a Gazetteer.
A fascinating addition to this publication is that the author includes a brief introduction to each location with a journal entry from his own visit there, describing the great beauty of the surroundings and the wildlife.
