Observación de aves

La Reserva Patrocinio es un buen lugar para observar aves con facilidad y encontrar especies interesantes. Los observadores hábiles pueden encontrar más de 100 especies en un buen día durante época de migración. Una red de senderos dan acceso a un mosaico de bosques y variadas plantaciones. La torre de observación y los comederos para colibríes y para aves que se alimentan de frutas y semillas son excelentes puntos para observar aves. Vea la lista de especies de aves reportadas en la Reserva Patrocinio.
Yellow-winged Tanager
Hace alrededor de 150 años los primeros naturalistas de occidente llegaron al puerto Champerico y realizaron los primeros relatos escritos de la avifauna de la vertiente pacífica de Guatemala.

En aquel tiempo esta área estaba cubierta por bosque latifoliado húmedo. Las actividades humanas han reducido el bosque a fragmentos y las Guacamayas Rojas (Ara macao), que antes eran comunes, actualmente han desaparecido por completo de la vertiente pacífica de Guatemala, así como el Caracara Comecacao (Daptrius americanus). Aunque estas especies perdieron sus hábitats apropiados, los fragmentos de bosque son aún refugios para una diversa avifauna.

Un total de 185 especies han sido registradas en Patrocinio. Apreciamos las contribuciones de registros de aves, los observadores se mencionan al final de esta página. La nomenclatura de esta lista se rige por AOU (1998): Check list of the North American birds. Seventh Edition, American Ornithologists’ Union, Lawrence, KA. and supplements, published in "The Auk" (www.aou.org). 		observation tower
