Belize 2010: A Few Raptors
We had plenty of great raptors on the trip.
A few of the highlights included the Snail Kite (pictured above and at right), the Black-Collared Hawk, the Bat Falcon, Great Black Hawk, White Hawk, the Spectacled Owl, the seemingly ubiquitous Roadside Hawk and four species of vulture.
