As I mentioned last time, I’m back out in CT, but this is a “work” trip, so I don’t have time to go looking for wildlife, unfortunately. I do have a minute, however, to dig up some more pictures from our recent trip to Central America, and this time they’re from Belize.
Here’s one more look at a magnificent ringed kingfisher, but this time at Crooked Tree Lodge.
Here’s another look at one of the two northern jacanas who seemed to be perpetually foraging at the water’s edge in front of our cabin at Crooked Tree Lodge, and without all that golden morning sunlight that flooded the previous picture in Flores.
After we spotted the groove-billed anis but before the five squeezed together on a single branch, I got my very first glimpse of a shy ivory-billed woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus flavigaster) who appeared briefly and quickly took off.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a white-eyed vireo at Crooked Tree who really put on a show, and who we have seen before in Estabrook, but I have only been able to show you that one time, until now.
Here’s another look at that gorgeous vermilion flycatcher, but this time he’s giving you a side view so you can better see his black wings and tail.
Finally, here’s a long-tailed flicker on Caye Caulker, where they were plentiful but quick moving. They look quite similar to the silver-spotted skippers we see in Estabrook, and I tried and tried to get a picture that better showed off their long tails, but this was the best I could do.
Okay. Now I’d better get busy helping to pack up a household before my sister gets any more annoyed with me and starts calling me “Androit!”
