Belize Day 2; May 28, 2025

Up at 5 a.m. to do a pre-breakfast birdwalk. Saw two species of parrots (red-lored and white-fronted), a black capped trogon, and miscellaneous small fry. 

After a decent breakfast, we boarded Julio's brother's car and drove 4 miles up the Macal river, to start our canoe trip. I was initially confused, thinking we'd paddle upstream against a steady current, just so we could return to the car, but instead Julio said he was driving, sitting in the stern while Marjorie and I kibitzed. And so we paddled 4 miles downriver, back to the resort. A very pleasant little jungle river.

Saw Amazon and Green Kingfishers, Neotropic Cormorants, Northern Rough-winged Swallows, river otters, and a lot of Russet-napped Wood Rails, which I didn’t at all expect.

That afternoon, we repaired to our air-conditioned room, so I could struggle with Affinity Photo 2. More anon.
