Day trip to Nusagandi, a report by Rafael Luck


Following the previous report of The Montañez and Kaufmann, and with the objective of getting some nice photos, Dr. Osvaldo Quintero, Euclides Campos and Rafael Luck visited the Nusagandi area last saturday. We found lots of Brown-hooded Parrots, like 7 Syristes, 5 or 6 Slate-throated Gnatcatcher, Plumbeous Kite, White Hawk, Crested Guan and an unidentified (and unphotographed) large raptor that could have been a Crested Eagle.

On the way back, we stopped at Tocumen Airport to look for the Cattle Tyrant and fortunately we found the bird right away [on the front lawn of the main terminal, between the parking lot and the access road].
