Introductory chapters present an overview of Belize's general ecology and information about visiting and birding there (it is one of the more accessible Central American countries and an increasingly popular birding destination). The text covers all identification criteria, and colour plates and illustrations by Dana Gardner cover 573 species. Colour distribution maps indicate the range of breeding and visiting species.
