Old Gamboa Road South Print E-mail
Old Gamboa Road is, you guessed it, the old road to Gamboa. The easiest way to get on it is to turn left at the entrance to Summit Gardens. Cross the railroad tracks and in a short while you'll get to Old Gamboa Road proper. If you turn right you'll cross two patches of forest before getting to the broadening of Culebra Cut. If you turn left, you'll get to Summit Ponds, where Boat-billed Herons nest and Capped Herons are seen every few years. Both Kiskadees, and both Green and Striated Herons are seen regularly, as well as the more common egrets. Going straight through the two ponds you'll be on Old Gamboa Road South, one of the birdiest spots around. This road passes through a variety of habitats, and has plenty of specialties: Blue Ground-Dove, Great Antshrike, Jet Antbird, Black-tailed and Royal Flycatchers, Lance-tailed and Golden-collared Manakins and Rosy Thrush-Tanager are a few highlights.
