Bird watching in Panama - December 2024

OK, it has come to my knowledge that we have senior citizens visiting my web page. How hard can it be? So it's not very easy for them to see the blue coloured links to the next page.

Jiffy (also jiff)

noun [in SING.] informal a moment: we'll be back in a jiffy.

ORIGIN late 18th cent.: of unknown origin.

So as you understand, in a jiff pretty much depends on your internet.

So I put a “Next” button here and I hope that there isn't any problem to understand how to use that one. So just CLICK the “Next” button on your left hand side and you will be on the next page in a jiff!

Day 2

Tuesday 17 ^th of December 2024 and and we leave Marinn Place Financical District at 5 thirty and we expect about 2 hours to reach El Valle de Anton.

I have a couple of bottles with refreshments in the back, but I am soon asleep in the back, good, I have a little something to enjoy going back to Panama City

We will visit a feeding station that is operated by a farmer in the mountains.

4 thirty and we leave the hotel

Tropical Mockingbird

We arrive to the birding place

We arrive to the birding place

The first bird we spot is one Tropical Mockingbird when we approach the feeding station. I got a recording yesterday, but no pictures so we stop to try to get a picture.

Continuing and we are stopping to pick up the farmer that owns the land. We reach the area and I go with the farmer and my Guide have to continue to park the van as the road is very narrow.

My Guide is coming back and we take a seat and the farmer leave us alone. There are plenty hummingbirds and we are soon having a lot of other birds coming to eat bananas.

Keel-billed Toucan, and I was very happy. I was sitting looking at the humming birds when, suddenly, the Keel-billed Toucan stuck up its head above the foliage, just for a second and I was lucky to get the pictures.

We spend 4 hours at the feeding station before I turn off my eBird app. 20 “LIFERS”

Time to leave the area

I want to leave early to be back in Panama City early afternoon so I have time to go look for the JBL Quantum Stream Wireless USB Wearable Wireless Streaming Microphone for my phone. And I will look for a poncho, my Guide from yesterday told me that they were available at a shop at Multiplaza. A big shopping mas in Panama City.

We were hauling arse, made a stop to look for the Boat-billed Heron, but the owner of the land was not home so we left again.

We stopped at a Supermarket and I bought some refreshments to enjoy in my room. I was in a good mood when suddenly, the traffic came to a full stop

Reaching the new highway

The new highway turned in to one lane and it was very slow. 3 lanes open to leave Panama City and one open in to the city. OK, this is normal during the rush hours in th elate afternoon, but not at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Three empty lanes from Panama City and one lane with bumper to bumper going in to the city. We were delayed with almost two hours and I did not want to go to the shopping mall.

I had some DIET refreshments and I decided to go look for the JBL Quantum Stream Wireless USB Wearable Wireless Streaming Microphone and I left to look for a taxi. Not easy, but I managed to find one after 20 minutes and I was on my way to Multiplaza.

Finding both the microphone and a poncho and I was in an UPBEAT mood when I left to look for a taxi. I had bought a new mouse as well, my old mouse is worn out.

So, I am excited to get out bird watching tomorrow to test my new JBL Quantum Stream Wireless USB Wearable Wireless Streaming Microphone and you just need to click HERE to find out how it turns out with the microphone.
