Advantage Tours' Venicio Wilson led the Panama Audubon Society fieldtrip to Wekso and Río Teribe, on La Amistad International Park on the province of Bocas del Toro, from November 2-5. A full report will be published on the January issue of The Toucan, but in the meantime a list of highlights will have to do.
Part of the group got a one-day head start, which they spent at Willie Mazu on Palo Seco Protection Forest. No monklet, but they did find a Sharpbill, also seen during the PAS trip to Fortuna earlier in the year.
The following day, upon meeting the rest of the group at the Changuinola airport, they found a female Painted Bunting. The trails around Wekso provided Green Ibis and Snowy Cotinga, while a visit to the town of Bonyic produced a Rufous-winged Woodpecker right in the middle of town.
