Beschrijving
Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is recognized as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. The sanctuary contains 6,600 hectares of lagoons, creeks, log wood swamps, broad leaf forest and pine savanna, home to hundreds of species of wildlife. The Jabiru stork is Crooked Tree's most famous resident. Belize has the largest nesting population of these birds in all of Central America. Jabiru storks arrive in November to nest in the lowland pine savannas.
The birding in Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is phenomonal. Especially when you take a lagoon tour (e.g. from Birds Eye View Lodge). Various species of heron, kingfisher, storks, spoonbill, flycatcher, kite, hawk, rail, ibis and many more.
