Another close and cherished friend of mine is the courageous Francisco Rovelo; an extremely intelligent and talented young man from the capital Tegucigalpa, who can play the guitar and sing you the rock song of your choice before telling you in either English or Spanish about any bird that you care to mention.
A seasoned and professional birdwatcher, Francisco is passionate about protecting and celebrating nature, conducting tours for those of any age across the nation. From the intrepid and unexplored jungles of La Mosquitia to the grand mountains of western Honduras – Frank will go after any species in any terrain.

We have compiled a gallery of some of our favourite photos, which capture various bird species to be found across Honduras. From glorious birds of prey to tiny hummingbirds, this nation boats a fascinating and utterly exquisite array for the keen ornithologist and bird watcher.

Magnificent! Blessed with such natural beauty.
All too often our opinions are shaped or marred by bad press and sadly, Honduras gets its share. Thanks to you and Francisco – please, keep it coming.
