The Birds listed above were (casually) observed today during just ONE HOUR of the morning chorus at Maya Kingdom Belize Jungle Adventures......a less than average aggregation of species, for this season. But Belize has Great Birding every single day of the year. At our Maya Kingdom Eco park, we take some pride in our cultivation of natural fruiting and flowering plants, to attract Birds and other Wildlife.
