Our third Panama's Canopy Tower tour of the season was a relaxing and enjoyable one, made so through great company, good food, and the amazing Alexis showing us some of the best that central Panama has to offer.

We started things off on the top deck of the Canopy Tower, a converted radar installation with a commanding view of the rainforest of Soberania National Park and bits of the Panama Canal itself. After breakfast, we headed for a slow walk down the hill, Semaphore Hill, where we saw a bunch of cool and interesting species staring right off the bat with a singing Pheasant Cuckoo. After a post-lunch siesta, we headed off to the Ammo Ponds, which provided our first real good look at the canal and more cool stuff.

Our second morning saw us off to the Panama Rainforest Discovery Center, where we spent some time in their tower as well as walking some of the trails. In the afternoon, we had a really enjoyable time at the Summit Ponds with their nesting Boat-billed Herons. We were thankful for the noisy Black-chested Jay which helped us track down a roosting Spectacled Owl.

The third day found us visiting the Metropolitan Park in downtown Panama City. Anything but an urban park, this place was loaded with birds, including lots of small forest flycatchers and colorful Lance-tailed Manakins. We spent a cultural afternoon at the Miraflores Locks watching the Panama Canal in action. There's nothing like seeing huge ships transiting down to the level of the Pacific Ocean! We finished the day with a terrific night-drive below the lodge, seeing some really interesting mammals.

Our fourth birding day was an all-day affair to Pipeline Road, perhaps the single most famous birding spot in Panama. We had a great time there, and Alex took us a ways out along the road. Plenty to see with good raptors, woodpeckers, trogons, jacamars, puffbirds, etc.

Our final morning of birding saw us return to Pipeline Road for some clean-up. We added a number of new species, and this left us the afternoon to explore the marshes near Gamboa and the grounds of the Gamboa Rainforest Resort. It was a great way to wrap up our birding.

Thanks again to each of you for making the trip possible. It was a real treat and I look forward to seeing you all again in the field!
