Xenornis

La semana pasada un pequeño grupo de observadores de aves de Panamá hizo una gira a Cana, Darién (Bill y Claudia Ahrens, Rafael Luck acompañados del guía Roberto Medina). Entre otras fotos estamos incluyendo el Green-naped Tanager, Pirre Warbler, Orange-bellied Euphonia, White-headed Wren, Red-throated Cara Cara, Sharpbill, Little Cuckoo . Se vieron muchas rapaces incluyendo al Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle , que curiosamente nos estaba observando, el White Hawk, Black Hawk-Eagle, King Vulture, y como una gran sorpresa desde el mismo campamento principal, se pudo observar un Águila Harpía desde lejos. Estamos enviando fotos de tres guacamayas (Blue-and-yellow, Red-and-green and Chestnut-fronted Macaw). Vimos el Great Green Macaw, pero desafortunadamente no se dejó retratar.

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.
