The massive Jabiru Stork at Haney’s Farm in Southern Belize<\/p><\/div>\n

Photos By David Gobeil<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago we got a call from Herman Haney over at Haney’s Shrimp Farm on All Pines Road just off of the Southern Highway.\u00a0 He said there were a pair of big Jabirus hanging around and feasting on his shrimp, and asked if we’d like to come over and take a look at these relatively rare birds.\u00a0 I grabbed my camera and a long zoom (Tamron 200-400mm, barely acceptable for this, but at least I got a few passable shots…..) and drove out to Haney’s Farm.\u00a0 I had previously seen one of these giant birds a couple of years prior in the Belize Zoo, and they are a sight to behold!\u00a0 They stand FIVE GEET tall and have a wing span of over NINE FEET !!!\u00a0 I”m not a birder so I don’t know what the other birds are called…..<\/p>\n
