Upper Deck, Canopy Tower Panama 20 May 2007.




If there's one bird that is just about impossible to see without visiting the Canopy Tower, it has to be Green Shrike-Vireo. This bird keeps well to the tops of the trees and the constant Greenshank-like "tuw-tuw-tuw" can be very irritating indeed, and must be more so if you can't find one from the forest floor trails! Plenty of other stuff on view from the deck this morning, including Chestnut-mandibled and Keel-billed Toucans, Collared Aracaris, Blue Cotinga, Slaty-tailed Trogon, Red-lored and Mealy Parrots. Three-toed Sloth and Red-naped Tamarins (above) were also seen from the top deck at times too.
