Great-tailed Grackle, a bird you can see everywhere...
When you visit Guatemala you will see Great-tailed Grackles in every town. From lowlands to highlands these birds have found the way to dominate any space to become the most common bird.
Most people don’t like them because they’re invasive and noisy but you can change you mind after seeing this magnificent male picture.

Rock Pigeon
Guatemala bird diversity includes three bird species introduced by human intervention. It doesn’t matter if it happened on purpose or by accident: Rock Pigeon, House Sparrow and Cattle Egret.

Cattle Egret
Rock Pigeon came from Asia, Cattle Egret from Africa and House Sparrow from Europe.
