Birding, Bird Watching on Ambergris Caye

Birding tours with Elbert Greer on Ambergris Caye.
Pick up at 5:30am and drop of before 10:00 am with a visit to our local Bird Island. Drinks and muffins supplied for the early morning birdwatcher.

Elbert and his friend Bubba (his pet Labrador) have been long-time watchers of the birds and humans on Ambergris Caye, and their insights are often both rewarding and amusing.

Elbert has written Books on the birds of Belize and is our local expert.

Ambergris Caye is a unique island with all its bird species not yet fully recorded. Mr. Greer, in his writings, sometimes provides some humor as he accounts the observations with the help and company of his Labrador companion, "Bubba." Bubba sometimes contributes mild metaphors about life on the island and certain birds

Casa Avian Support Alliance

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:23:03 GMT

Casa Avian Support Alliance is located on the grounds of our Project Sponsor, Casa del Caballo Blanco. The project sponsors are pleased to offer discounted lodging to interested volunteers and visiting avian veterinarians.

The need for conventions addressing biological diversity and national strategies is evidenced in the alarming estimates of future species loss. E.O. Wilson, citing work done by Simberloff on the basis of area-species relationships and the destruction of rain forests in the New World tropical mainland, suggests that within a century,

"The stage will be set...for the inevitable loss of 12% of the 704 bird species in the Amazon Basin and 15% of the plant species in South and Central America (Wilson 2003:11)."

In response to these losses the sponsors of the Casa Avian Support Alliance (CASA) propose to create a facility and a program that addresses the needs of the avian community and the conservation of biodiversity, each of which are substantial assets of the Belizean people; the facility and program are being developed in recognition of the global consequences of the conservation of Belize's biodiversity with respect to the ecology of the America's.

La Casa Del Caballo Blanco

La Casa del Caballo Blanco is a family-owned eco-lodge that helps to support a BIRD REHABILITATION/RELEASE CENTER. Situated on a 23 acre sanctuary in Cayo, Western Belize, Casa is located 1.3 miles west of San Ignacio town, on the hillsides forming the southern side of the Mopan River Valley.
Open your door to the Belize - each morning as you step on to the veranda of your spacious cabana you are greeted by the sights and sounds of the Mopan River Valley - a panoramic view that encompasses Guatemala to the west, parrots flying overhead, and the rising sun . From their knoll-top location each cabana is naturally cooled by the prevailing afternoon breezes, and each night the lights of small villages along the Mopan River can be seen to twinkle in the far off jungle.

Casa del Caballo Blanco accommodations are spacious, comfortable and elegantly decorated.
