Wildlife And Belize Birdwatching

The morning starts at the Rio Maya Farm. We start by birding the secondary-growth forest near the entrance of the farm. This is an ideal habitat for the very local Cabanis’s Wren, apart from the wren this area is good for birds like the  Laughing Falcon, Bat Falcon, White-fronted Amazon, and Striped Cuckoo.

We then move to the fruit and hummingbird feeders for the Buff-throated Saltator, Yellow-winged Tanager, Collared Aracari, and Keel-billed Toucan. 

After we take a short walk to the pond and then through the spiny bamboo patch to the river. The target species here are the Amazon Kingfisher, Green Kingfisher, Lineated Woodpecker, Yellow-billed Cacique, Ruddy Woodcreeper, Streak-headed Woodcreeper, and the hard-to-see Great Antshrike.
