In Belize I cruised above reefs few people had ever seen. Ugandan Mangabeys were part of my family once. There is no feeling in the world like knowing your helping something you care about, whether its sharks or puffins, protecting forests or reefs, advancing science or communities. And you’ll meet amazing people too.

They are members of the Parulidae family and Horneros are members of the Furnariidae family, a nice example of parallel evolution. First Corey gets his life Jabiru in Belize, then I see my lifer in the Pantanal. We saw a family of three jaguars–mom, dad, and daughter–in the two full days we spent in Porto Jofre.

On my last visit, which lastes four days, I didn’t have much time to sneak away from family, but I did get to check out two new sites. I once visited Crooked Tree in Belize for a few days without hitting any of the great spots because I didn’t really know what I was doing.

After a brief look at a map, my rough guesstimate is that the territory from Guatemala and Belize south to the Darien gap is roughly equal to New England, or Florida and the eastern parts of Georgia and the Carolinas north to the Virginia line. Fewer tanagers : Many more member of this technicolor family occur in Costa Rica.
