CAYE CAULKER, BARRIER REEF ISLAND OF BELIZE ENVIRONMENTAL BALANCE IS BEING RESTORED


The environmental balance seems to be restoring after a half a dozen years of no pelican reports for the island of Caye Caulker. Did a count at the split today, while a fisherman was cleaning fish and a dozen young pelicans were floating around waiting for fish scraps. Also a couple of dozen, mano´war frigate birds flying overhead in the standing wave of air caused by the sea breeze hitting the warmer sand beach.

Whatever the cause of a die off of pelicans seems to be rectified and the bird population is coming back again.
