Birding Panama


My lucky friends Beth and PJ are in Panama on a bird watching trip. Pj is a professional ornithologist and can make more aural identifications than anyone I know. I think that she can identify over 500 birds by sound.

Beth sent me some pictures that definitely make me feel very jealous!

I believe that Panama has the second most number of bird species in the world, after Colombia. I think that the birds in the video above are keel billed toucans.




This is the national beer of Panama.



I hope that they send more pictures! Looks like a wonderful trip.

Thanks for sharing. You can view live video on the Canopy Tower website. Fruit feeder camera. A birder friend from AZ watches it and when she met Beth recently while visiting was excited to hear that was Beth’s destination.
