An Annual Count of the Number and Species of Water Birds in Belize

2022 is the year of the census, including a population count for aquatic species of birds that are native to Belize. The exercise began a few weeks ago and is scheduled to conclude on the fifteenth of February. The annual count is being led by the Belize Audubon Society and will cover specific protected areas across the country, including Corozal Bay, Crooked Tree Lagoon and Hopkins watershed.
