I actually came across my own professor, Dr. Rob Fergus’,
blog about birds from the Ch’ol Maya area.
He also spoke about the trip in class one time and showed us pictures; I
remember he said all the locals were very nice.
Some of the birds he highlights in his blog that he saw are the
Slate-colored Solitaire, Crimson-collared Tanager, Red-legged Honeycreeper,
Striped Cuckoo, Yellow-bellied Eleania, and Red-lored Parrot. Upon further research, none of these birds
are endangered or vulnerable.
I also
found a website,
http://www.mexico-birding.com/chiapas.html,
that offers a two week tour of Chiapas to go birding and see some of those
birds. If you have the time and money it
could be a really cool way to see the scenery of Chiapas. You also get to see some of the ancient ruins
that still miraculously stand. Below are some pictures I found of birds from the area.
