panama city and gamboa trip list for june 13-17, 2003

This page is the bird trip list. Click
here to visit my Panama diary pages for a full trip report.
We easily observed
90 species in a short period of time on our own in June. You
could double (or better) the number of species by
spending just a tad
less time in the bar and the pool, using an expert bird guide, visiting in the dry season, and/or extending your trip
to visit more habitats. We just wanted to see what we could
do puttering around in the off season, with lots of time
to relax and veg around the pool. I must say that I was
extremely impressed by the accessibility of Panama's birds and
other wildlife. There is always something to see.
Impressive new life birds for me included Rufescent Tiger-Heron,
Rufous-Tailed Hummingbird, White-Vented
Plumeteer,
Yellow-Crowned Tyrannulet, Saffron Finch,
Keel-Billed Toucan, and more.
While anyone who visits will spot an overwhelming number of bird
species, the birder's patience and level of skill will determine how
many you actually identify. At first, I was so overwhelmed by the
sheer numbers that I sometimes threw up my hands over yet another
confusing masked flycatcher and so turned my attention to species
that I could identify quickly and easily. As I gained some
familiarity with the birds, I was able to identity more birds
more quickly. On my last morning at the Gamboa Resort, I was able
to confidently identify 51 species, with time for a leisurely
breakfast, a hot shower, and the usual packing up and
checking out chores, so
click here for that list.
It was a great experience, and I would love
to be able to visit again.
