Oh Belize. A beautiful country on Central America’s coast, Belize boasts spectacular diving and snorkeling, immense cave systems, beautiful rivers, dense jungles, and of course, hundreds and hundreds of birds. My husband and I arrived in Belize just after a late afternoon thunderstorm. The birding was relatively easy.
For 13 years, this organization has carried out a bird-a-thon to raise funds for such projects as reforestation in Ecuador and protecting nests of the Harpy Eagle in Brazil. Whatever the reason may be, we do know that Las Brisas provides a lot of food and shelter for Cerulean Warblers as they migrate south.
In Belize I cruised above reefs few people had ever seen. 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. In the Bahamas I swam in a pod of feeding dolphins.

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. The reserve protects a stand of mahogany swamp that attracts large numbers of nectar feeding birds when they flower in the winter. This often happens to me, because I’m rather vague.
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. Central America is much smaller than the land encompassed within the borders of Canada and the USA.
