Tocumen Marsh and the foothills of Cerro Azul
|
$125 |
| In Tocumen Marsh, and in the surrounding open areas, we have a good chance of spotting certain raptors such as Pearl kite, Savanna hawk, and Lesser yellow-headed vulture, as well as other species smaller in size but not less impressive, namely: Pale-bellied hermit, American pygmy kingfisher, Panama flycatcher, Southern lapwing, and Olivaceous piculet. At mid-morning we travel to the foothills of Cerro Azul and will have a picnic lunch in a private residence overlooking the virgin forests of Chagres National Park . From this spot it is possible to see the Yellow-eared toucanet, considered by many the most colorful of the local toucans, and the Black-and-white hawk-eagle. After lunch we’ll bird the surrounding areas in search of the Tiny rufous-crested coquette (the second smallest hummingbird in the world) and some spectacular tanagers like Speckled and Rufous-winged tanagers. Finally, if we are really lucky, we might see a Panama endemic, the Striped-cheeked woodpecker and the White-tipped sickle bill, a local specialty. |
