Birds at Chaa Creek

There are hundreds of bird species that have been spotted in and around Chaa Creek.  Many are local species like the Social Flycatcher (actually there seem to be about 50 types of flycatchers). Others are migratory northern birds wintering over in Belize like the Baltimore Oriole and the Flicker.  Every morning at 6:30am there is a naturalist led bird walk which I went on twice and in addition to the birds pictured here I saw a number of others including a pygmy owl about seven inches long that eats birds as large as itself and a beautiful red headed tanager.
