Not everything is raptors here at the center... enjoy a slomo vid of our resident, male white-nose coati or quash as it is known here in #Belize... we have a love-hate relationship with him cause he is cute but he loves our chickens 🙄 Despite that we still love him! #nature #mammals #belizetravel

On an end note. Please stop shooting birds of prey. They hold such important ecological services that we rely on to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Without them the system we rely on will crumble. They keep us healthy so let's keep them safe ♥️♥️♥️ 7/7 #raptors #birds #wildliferehabilitation

This process is called imping & as her feathers were broken off, the shot female feathers will better help protect our patients feather when they come in. Also this will help her during her daily falconry exercise routine that our falconer @ammcanizares.bsky.social has her on 6/7 #raptors #falconry

People travel the world & come to Belize to see this species in the wild. What an income she would've brought to the village as people flocked to come & photograph her beauty. As an aerial species she would've never been a threat to livestock. But an ignorant human took her life anyway 💔 #Birds 4/7

A species that could be gone in the next decade, just lost an incredibly healthy female who would've passed her strong genetics to future generations. This isn't just heartbreaking for the conservation work that biologist have poured blood, sweat & tears into but also to the tourism sector 3/7 🪶

She was banded (4K) and claiming a territory of her own and ended up in Toledo. Where a stronghold of the species resides. She was perched and a man took out his pellet rifle and shot her in the face. The pellet went in & through her skull, exiting the top of her head. She died instantly 2/7 #birds

CW||Dead bird In our line of work we deal with some really sad cases. But nothing can prepare you for the heartache when a bird you've seen banded & fledge from your area is shot while perched in her new home territory. Especially when that bird's a female Orange-breasted falcon 1/7 #Raptors #birds

On this #WorldBiodiversityDay we want to highlight how we take for granted the common species. When the ecosystems fail, it's the absence of these common species what we register & it is usually too late. So let's keep working on monitoring and conserving these & all the species. #Birds #Raptors

A male Roadside hawk that got stuck in Sargassum was promoted to the flight enclosure making a step closer to his release. Coastal inundation of Sargassum cause toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide that can cause chemical burns. Luckily for this dude he just needed rest & tons of fluids #Birds #Raptors
