 We did leave early and did arrive on the continental Divide around 7.30am
On the divide we did see the scaly crested pygmy Tyrant, was great and I pointed it out to 4 Biologist who were also birding there, they were happy , I guess their pics were better than mine...with the big lenses,  but I am happy with my pictures...



We did see quite a big of mixed flocks, so that was nice.
On the Divide we did see a big group of Pygmy Squirrels or Dwarf Squirrels..I did not find out yet, great to see them jumping around , for me new.We stopped after the divide on different spots around the road towards Almirante.
Was a long day , because I needed to drive back for 3 hours to Boquete...on the way back I did see a large group of Keel billed Toucans flying over the road...I had to hit the breaks...what a life!
