Here's another batch of bird photos from Belize. At St. George's Caye the outdoor dining area was on the second floor and overlooked the top of a tree. At breakfast there would often be small birds in the tree so I started taking my camera and making sure I sat facing out. But the birds didn't sit still and tended to stay hidden in the tree. Until one morning when they cooperated and I finally got some photos. There were several warblers: yellow-throated, black-throated blue, and yellow.
Another yellow bird, a bit larger, was this female Hooded Oriole.
I noticed a woodpecker on one of the palm trees but it was too far away to get good photos. But amazingly, it also came and perched in the top of the tree near us. It turned out to be a Golden Fronted Woodpecker.
I saw this Cinnamon Hummingbird a few times before managing to photograph it. Once it came to visit the flowers beside our cabana and I managed a lucky shot. Another time I saw it perch on a tree beside the path.
Back at Turneffe I saw the American Redstart several more times.
This Tricolored Heron was surprisingly tolerant of me photographing it.
A few attempts at birds in flight - a Brown Pelican and a Royal Tern.
Easier to photograph when sitting still.
On St George's Caye we saw a Little Blue Heron
and also a sub-species of Great Blue Heron - Würdemann's
as well as regular Great Blue Herons
And, of course, cormorants and gulls
See all 58 photos in this batch
