Bird watching is an attraction in many countries on the South American continent and the Caribbean and draws small groups of avid birdwatchers and those wanting to get involved in a worthwhile past-time.
            For many, Guyana is seen as a birding paradise as it is geographically part of the Neotropics, an area which includes Central America, the Caribbean and Northern South America, and which accounts for a quarter of the world’s bird species.
            Birdwatchers are given several easy options when birding in Guyana, since the country is divided into three distinct areas, the Coastlands, the Rainforest and the Savannahs. Each of the three natural regions offers distinctly different habitats with its own diverse array of species. Without much effort, several species of these feathered creatures can be seen in the capital city, Georgetown.
