_Here are some of the birds we had the pleasure of seeing on our trip to Placencia and side excursion to Red Bank.  We saw others, of course, but these were the ones we could identify from our photos.  Most of these were new on our life lists!

Thanks Bridget! Yes, he was very cool -- wish he would have come out of hiding, but at least we caught a glimpse

Thanks Shelby! We saw a lot of these just along the "Placencia sidewalk" in the morning, so you should have no problem seeing some of them too!

Have totally enjoyed following your adventures. I am still in NC; did finish med school and was in private practice for almost 10 years. Now at home with my 14 year old! Our 17 year old is a junior at NC School of Science and Math. You guys are an inspiration!

They are beautiful, aren't they, Jo? We had seen them here on Ambergris Caye as well; in fact, I believe the Cinnamon Hummingbird is the only type we've seen in Belize so far. I want to see some other hummers too, so we will keep looking. We only had the Ruby-Throated in North Carolina also.

The pictures are really great! Emily, are both you and Barry taking the photos? The birds of Belize are so beautiful. What a disappointment that you did not spot the Scarlet Macaw, but next time. The birds you did spot are lovely. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jamie, glad you enjoyed the photos. Barry takes the vast majority of them (which is why I'm in a lot more of them than him), especially the bird photos. Obviously I take the photos of him and the occasional food shot. Thanks for stopping by!

    living in Belize

    Emily & Barry

    We're an adventurous couple, married 27 years, who decided to move to Ambergris Caye, Belize from Chapel Hill, North Carolina for retirement.  We built a condo on the beach  north of San Pedro Town and moved in with our Boston Terrier Paisley in August 2011 and lived there until March 2013.  Ultimately, we decided to return to the US, but we have no regrets and MANY good memories of our time in Belize.  We hope our blog might prove helpful to anyone interested in this lovely country.
