ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
We wish to thank the staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources 
of the Government of Belize for their assistance and cooperation with 
field work in Belize. We also appreciate the support and assistance 
of the Belize Audubon Society; their conservation efforts have 
greatly enhanced the opportunities to study birds in Belize. 
International Expeditions, Inc., Birmingham, Alabama, has played a 
large role in providing opportunities for study in Belize especially 
through the efforts of Mr. Ray E. Ashton, Jr.; we are most grateful 
for their help and organization. Among their many contributions was 
the cover illustration. Ms. Kathleen $. Anderson and Mr. James A. 
Dick generously added unpublished records from their own field notes 
and provided helpful comments on the checklist. Ms. Nancy Perkins 
drew the map of ecological areas.
