PANAMA May 2008: Summit Ponds.

Blue-crowned Motmot, Summit Ponds, Panama May 2008.




The Summit Ponds at the end of the Old Gamboa Road lie within the Soberania NP and are another great place to bird. Common Neotropical species are just that here, with plenty of Blue-crowned Motmots around but there's also a few bits 'n' pieces to search for. It's a good site for Jet Antbird, Pale-eyed Pygmy-Tyrant, Golden-collared Manakins, Lance-tailed Manakins and Yellow-billed Cacique too.
