Belize City

Belize City

Shelley and I are on a scuba diving trip to Belize and spent the night in Belize City on the way. We didn't have time (or energy) to do much, but we wandered the few blocks around the hotel. And I managed to find a little wildlife. When I looked out the window I saw this reddish dove on a power line and it stuck around long enough to have its photo taken. I think it's a Ruddy Ground Dove.

Of course, there were gulls around. I think this is a Laughing Gull - one we don't get at home.

I have a hard time identifying shore birds. I think these are a Least Sandpiper and a Sanderling.

Great-tailed Grackles are one I can identify.

From Costa Rica, I figured this was either a Great Kiskadee or a Social Flycatcher. I think it's a Social Flycatcher.

I always like seeing the Brown Pelicans.They seem to have a lot of character.

I even managed to see a few lizards, a medium size Black Spiny-tailed Iguana and a tiny Brown Anole.
