We left Canopy Tower after a week of birding in the surrounding Soberania NP. In truth the only bird we didn't see elsewhere was the Green Shrike-Vireo but we had unforgetable views of Chestnut-mandibled and Keel-billed Toucans (above) and Collared Aracaris (image at foot of this entry).
Semaphore Hill road below the tower with its steep sided banks was a favourite of White-whiskered and Black-breasted Puffbirds (above), whilst the feeders in the tower car park had White-vented Plumeleteers (below), Blue-chested Hummingbirds and White-necked Jacobins.
The dawn chorus at the tower started with the sounds of Mantled Howler Monkey, Collared Forest-Falcons, Broad-billed Motmots and Western Slaty Antshrikes. Mottled Owl and Choco Screech-Owls could be heard at night whilst Kinkajou and Common Woolly Opossum could be seen in the trees surrounding the tower after dark.
