Birding in Belize: Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary

Some photos of my visit to this Central American top birding site in February 2017. I stayed at Bird's Eye View Lodge, which is perfectly located to serve as a birding base. The lodge does not only offer rooms directly at the shoreline, allowing for great birding from the breakfast table, but also runs various tours by small boat and car, led by knowledgeable local guides. I got brilliant sightings, a couple of lifers, lots of photos, but most imporantly, my first ever Agami Herons (Agamia agami) on one of their boat tours. Other (personal) highlights on this three-day visit included Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria), Sungrebe (Heliornis fulica), Limpkin (Aramus guarauna) and Yucatan Jay (Cyanocorax yucatanicus).
