Aktivitäten - Vogelbeobachtungen

Im nördlichen Hochland Nicaraguas gelegen bietet das Selva Negra Bergressort eine herausragende Örtlichkeit, um einige der schönsten und seltensten Regenwald-Vogelarten zu beobachten. Werfen Sie einen Blick auf unsere "Vogelliste" welche über 130 Vogelarten auflistet, die sich in unserem Ressort beobachten lassen, darunter so seltene Arten wie Nightingale Wren, White-eared hummingbird, Philadelphia Vireo, Baltimore Oriole oder den Resplendent Quetzal.
 
   
Die Vogelartenübersicht wurde von mehreren Wissenschaftlern und Vogelbeobachtern zusammengestellt, die das Selva Negra Bergressort besucht haben. Insbesondere gilt unser Dank Frau Hillary Smith, die mit den Arbeiten an dieser Übersicht im April 1996 begonnen hat. Ebendfalls danken möchten wir Jed Mitchel, Bob Vanderpoel, Twan Leenders und Poulsen und Hindkjaer, die ebenfalls alle zur Vervollständigung unserer Übersicht beigetragen haben.
   
Uns fehlen noch immer einige spanische und lateinische Bezeichnungen für einige Vogelarten in unserer Übersicht. Falls Sie eine dieser Bezeichnungen kennen, schicken Sie uns bitte eine e-mail Uns fehlen noch immer einige spanische und lateinische Bezeichnungen für einige Vogelarten in unserer Übersicht.
