I would need a correct credit line to run with the picture. Hopefully!

Although the species are less exotic there are birds outside my apartment in downtown Panama City singing every morning. I love the fact that I hear the morning chorus as I am making my coffee at 5:30 am even in January when my former home in the Northern USA is covered with snow. My little houseplant jungle on my balcony attracts little brown birds to check for bugs and to visit with my wife's two caged Australian parakeets. The visitors also clean up after the messy parakeets for which I am thankful. I love going into the area beyond Cero Azul to a friend's farm to watch the toucans feast on berries on one of his trees but I love just as much seeing the litte birds making their way in the city. I am reminded of seeing a coyote near my home in South Minneapolis around midnight years ago. Life has a way of finding its niches. Panama is a great place for birds.

There is a new exhibit for a while now already that is well worth seeing, its the Mundo Jaguar (Jaguar World). Great place to see this majestic powerful Jaguar close up and while there yes there is also a great variety of birds to see like the famous Harpy Eagle, the Kink Vulture for example and many others.  The park is easy accessible by a short drive from Panama City on the road to Gamboa, see the Panama Map here for location.r more details on the Summit Garden Nature Park Panama see also this earlier post.
