Panama Birds

Tuesday, 29 January 2019, through Friday, 1 February 2019

Our guide, Beny, is an expert birder and led two birdwatching walks around our hotels. We saw an amazing diversity of birds even around urban areas. Below are just a few of the birds we saw.

Pale-vented doves were quite common.
Yellow-breasted elaenia
Purple gallinule
Southern lapwing
Red-crowned woodpecker
Red-legged honeycreeper
As we were going by the harbor in Panama City, there were lots of pelicans flying around. What looked like sticks poking out of shallow water was really a mass of anhingas.
A closer look at the "sticks" that were really birds, hundreds of birds!
And on one of our bird walks, we saw the unusual "cellular palm".
