Belizean Birds in the New York Times!

A Paradise of Birds

With excellent photographs here. I've seen all these species in the wild apart from the Honey Creeper.

I bet yobubba has seen all of them.

Cool, they come with sound!

I love the bittern noise.

A Tiger Heron once waltzed across our backyard and the dog went insane. He ignores most birds so it was unusual.

[ginasketch]

Oops I should clarify- locally it's also known as the Tiger Bittern.

Heh, I'd love to see a waltzing heron. ;o)

Beautiful. I'd love to see a Macaw in the wild.

Only seen them from a distance. But they are loud!

Aren't there a bajillion living in and around the vicinity of Hampton Court? Escaped pets, breeding wild.

Or are those parakeets?

[ginasketch]

Those are Ring-Necked Parakeets and they are much, much smaller.

Ooh they have sound files!

D'oh! They spelt Aracari wrong on the photograph page.
