The birdwatcher who joined me is participating in the meeting of the western shorebird group in Panama city the coming 4 days(organized by Audubon Panama)... a lot of people from all over the world (including Holland) are coming. Unfortunately we have work, love to  participate ... I can see on the E-bird lists that there are a lot of birdwatchers in Panama city as we speak...and of course they take advantage to spot some great birds...good time to be in Panama to see the birds!!! 

Last Saturday it was the big day (E-bird)

...in Panama not so popular as in May, but we did good. Hans and I did go to the Palo seco reserve, did see nice birds, it was also great weather. Still have 3 calls of birds...that we heard, but not ID yet. I did ask other birdwatchers...but they don't know it also ... did listen on internet a lot to calls... well I don't give up...

In the morning when we were on our way ... the volcano (Baru) was very clear

when we came back in Boquete, there was a tropical storm and no birding anymore  for this day..so nice a well-deserved chocolate milk and pastry and making my bird lists 👍
