Fall Migration Bird Count Image © David R. Beebe, 1997 - Used with permission. Birders converged at Caribbean Villas Hotel for the annual Fall Migration Bird Count. 108 species were spotted during the week long event. An amazing 81 were identified at Caribbean Villa's bird sanctuary. While these and other species were found in nearby areas on Ambergris Caye. A unique feature of this birding week is that much of the birding was not done on foot but rather via electric golf carts. Here is a list of the birds that were seen: Anhinga Brown Pelican Magnificent Frigate Double-crested Cormorant Olivaceous Cormorant Royal Tem Least Tern Laughing Gull Ring-billed Gull Semipalmated Plover Snowy Plover Black-bellied Plover Collared Plover Golden Plover Whimbrel Spotted Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Western Sandpiper Ruddy Turnstone Little Blue Heron Great Blue Heron Great Blue Heron (white phase) Snowy Egret Great Egret Yellow-crowned Night Heron Cattle Egret Green-backed Heron Reddish Egret Louisiana Heron (tri-colored) White This Wood Stork Black-necked stilt Roseate Spoonbill Willet Short-billed Dowitcher Lesser Yellowlegs Greater Yellowlegs Northern Water Thrush Wood Thrush Ringed Kingfisher Belted Kingfishta - Green Kingfisher Osprey Black Hawk Grey Hawk Merlin Turkey Vulture Chachalaca Lesser Night Hawk White-crowned Pigeon Caribbean Dove White-winged Dove Common Ground Dove Aztec Parakeet Mangrove Swallow Cliff Swallow Gray-breasted Martin Graceful/Tropical Mocking Bird Black Catbird Summer Tanager Black-headed Saltator Blue Grosbeak Am Red Start Warbler Bay-breasted Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Black and White Warbler Yellowthroated Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Hooded Warbler Worm-eating Warbler Mangrove Warbler Magnolia Warbler Northern Parula Warbler Prothrothonotary Warbler Tenn.
