This was a ~12 day vacation with brothers Rich and Tom, visiting Belize and the Mayan ruins at Tikal (in Guatemala). This was not strictly a birding trip, but the binoculars and camera were always ready.  We spent 2  days birding at Crooked Tree Lagoon in Belize and in the nearby Mayan ruins of Lamanai, then traveled to the Lighthouse Reef atoll (~50 miles offshore, on a tiny island), where we were able to watch the sizeable booby and frigatebird colony. After returning to the mainland, we traveled to the western side of Belize for 5 more days (including two nights in Tikal), birding the highlands and the ruins. Overall, we identified ~200 species, with 50 lifers and ~35 new photo species. A detailed description of the trip should be posted soon. Other non-birding photos from the trip can be found HERE.
