For many of us, the 2022 Canopy Camp Darien Tour marked a return to international travel. Aside from any hassles associated with making travel safe, it was wonderful to stretch our wings and enjoy some wonderful international birding. We were in great hands with Moyo Rodriguez and and Canopy staff that took such good care of us. Darien is a province of high regional endemism, and we saw a number of species whose ranges span from eastern Panama into adjacent parts of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Several of our excursions took us to the banks of the Rio Chucunaque. And one of these excursions took us into the adjacent province of Embera, where we were taken on a muddy slog on horseback to observe an active Harpy Eagle nest. We were fortunate in having an adult fly in with food to feed the growing nestling while we watched in amazement. Another excursion on the Rio Chucunaque turned up an assortment of riverbank loving raptors (Black-collared Hawk, Common Black Hawk, and Crane Hawk), and other highlights that included a massive tree full of breeding Wood Storks. We spent a wonderful morning along the birdy El Salto Road where we encountered several trogons, and had great views of Double-banded Graytail and Gray-cheeked Nunlet. Woods near Yaviza produced a nice study of Dusky-backed Jacamar and Black Oropendola. On top of all of the terrific daytime birding, we had some wonderful night time excursions. Our owling trip featured Black-and-White Owl, Tropical Screech-Owl, and Anita’s amazing spotting of Striped Owl! And back at the lodge, our night walk featured various cool creatures including Nine-banded Armadillo, Common Opossum, and a couple species of scorpions endemic to the region. And the insect sheets at the loge had an amazing variety of life!
It was a real pleasure bringing in the New Year with all of you. Thank you for your great company and for all of the terrific images you shared from the trip. There were far too many to include in the list. I wish you all the very best in birding and in health.
