Old Gamboa Road, Panama May 2007.


The Gamboa Road is only a short drive from the Canopy Tower so we made a few visits there during our stay. The Summit Ponds provided us with a bit of variety including this smart American Pygmy-Kingfisher as well as Boat-billed Heron, American Crocodile and Spectacled Caiman. The "drier" forest here held Lance-tailed Manakins, White-bellied and Jet Antbirds as well as a pair of day-roosting Spectacled Owls. The nightbird theme continued with this juv' Great Potoo roosting between the tower and Gamboa.
