Citizen Science in Guatemalan ornithology

We have reanimated Christmas Bird Counts in Guatemala. We have founded Christmas Bird Counts in Tikal, Antigua Guatemala, and on Atitlán volcano. The CBC in Tikal in 2006 was the first in Guatemala after a hiatus of more than 30 years. Christmas Bird Counts are conducted on a calender day in the period from December 14th to January 5th. Currently we are organizing and compiling the Christmas Bird Count at Atitlán Volcano.
