This is a post that includes pictures of birds that we found in the vicinity of the Canopy Family Lodge in Panama. It is part of a travelogue of our birding trip to Panama. If you would like to go to Part 1 of the travelogue (which includes pictures of the places we went, birds we saw, and some of the mammals we observed) CLICK HERE.
This Chestnut-headed Oropendola was feeding off of the colorful flowers high up in the sky, making it a very backlit subject.
There was an Chestnut-sided Oropendola nest buried in the forest. Below is a picture of one taken out in the open several miles away from the lodge. If you look carefully (or use your imagination) you can see a Chestnut-headed Oropendola inside its nest. FYI the “-pendola” part of its name means “pendulum”, like its nest acts in a breeze.
We were walking down the road that goes by the Canopy Lodge and spotted this Broad-billed Motmot. It was getting quite dark so I was lucky that it stayed still as I took a long-exposure shot.
While wandering the paths around the Canopy Lodge I spotted this Common Today-flycatcher. I love the yellow eye ring!
This Collared Aracari found a plump bit of fruit in the trees not far from the Canopy Lodge.
Have you ever seen such a bright bill? On a sparrow? This Orange-billed Sparrow was buried near the path leading out of the Canopy Lodge. We followed it until I was able to get a fairly clean shot of it.
This White-tipped Dove walked along the path near the feeder set up facing the Canopy Lodge.
A Tropical Kingbird held some possible nesting material in its beak before flying off into the forest with it.
The Lineated Woodpecker is one of the largest woodpeckers in Central America. Here it searches for food around the Canopy Lodge.
