At the Tower and in the forest canopy, we saw many Green Honeycreepers. In fact, it was the first bird I saw and I thought "how can it get better?" It did.
A beautiful Today Flycatcher. These are tiny, feisty little birds!
Northern Lapwing. These were really beautiful birds. Several had babies running with them.
The trees were filled with Keel-Billed Toucans!
Here is the female Green Honeycreeper. She was as beautiful as the male.
Gorgeous Slaty-Tailed Trogon.
And a Black-Throated Trogon. Trogon are always treats to see!
Along with amazing birds, there were mammals, insects and plants that were awesome. This is the Hot Lips plants. Definitely a gorgeous and well-named perennial.
There were troupes of Geoffroy's Tamarins that would come through the canopy. Watching them never got old either.
The Thick-Billed Euphonia were everywhere. Beautiful little birds.

With the guide and one other couple, we spent a lot of time on the infamous Pipeline Road. This place was rich with birds, but had almost no insects to our delight!
Red-Legged Honeycreeper - male. Sometimes bird names make a lot of sense!
This is a male Blue Dacnis. They were electrically colored!
I called this Toucan Tree because it seemed to grow a nice crop of Keel-Billed Toucan every time I looked at it.
A Golden-Hooded Tanager. The number of absolutely incredibly Tanagers in Panama was mind-blowing.
Here we are on top of the Canopy Tower with the beautiful Panama City skyline in the background. The Canal, if you could see it, is to the right side of the photo.
Next set of photos coming up!
