Field Guides is headed back to Honduras in partnership with the International Conference for Women Birders (IC4WB...their tag line is "Women-led. Open to Everyone."), taking place in Tela from May 4–8, 2027. As the conference beautifully puts it, "The name celebrates women. The invitation is for everyone."
Before the conference kicks off, we're offering a weeklong birding adventure along Honduras's North Coast and interior dry forest, including a highlight visit to Lake Yojoa. Our tour dates immediately precede the conference dates. You'll be traveling with Jesse Fagan, author of the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of Northern Central America. Co-leading with Jesse will be Honduran guide Isis Castro Alberto, who is also helping organize the IC4WB event; she is a sustainable tourism professional and tour leader with more than 20 years of experience in nature-based travel.
Our journey begins in the lush highlands above Lake Yojoa, the largest freshwater lake in Honduras and a hotspot for biodiversity. We'll spend two nights in Cerro Azul Meambar National Park, surrounded by cloud forest and rich foothill habitat. This region is home to the elusive Keel-billed Motmot, and we'll make a dedicated effort to find the endemic Honduran Emerald in nearby dry forest.
From there, we head south toward Comayagua, visiting the El Chircal Archaeological Site and the El Jilguero Reserve, a small but productive patch of forest where Resplendent Quetzal and Highland Guan are regularly encountered. Then it's north to coastal La Ceiba, based at the wonderfully comfortable Lodge at Pico Bonito, before finishing in Tela just in time for the start of the conference.
Participants on this tour will have $100 of their IC4WB conference registration fee covered by Field Guides. In addition, Field Guides will make a financial donation to Aves Honduras in support of their grassroots work promoting birding tourism and biodiversity conservation throughout the country.
Join us for a tour that blends excellent birding, meaningful conservation, and international community--a memorable way to experience Honduras and support the future of birding in the region.
