Rita and I were privileged to spend some relaxing time in Belize this winter, recovering and healing from life and health stresses. It was so good to visit several national parks, including St Herman’s Blue Hole and Mayflower Bocawina. We also just walked along the roads where our hosts, Loren and Mairi Helmuth, lived.
It was especially satisfying to compile a list of 162 bird species on this 14-day trip, as we didn’t have birds coming to feeders, and we only had a bird guide for a few hours. I added 25 species to my life list. We’re getting more skilled at the birds of Central America, since this is our third visit in four years.
