I’m now in this very interesting country that is Panama. We had early morning (6:30 a.m.) bird watching along the Pipeline Road. It covers approximately 4 miles of rainforest. We saw an abundance of birds and wildlife such as White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys and various types of rodents. This has made a birder out of me. I even had the privilege of joining a small group of six experienced birders who didn’t mind being my instructors along the way.

We are now transferring to the next hotel in time to start greeting the first group of participants as they arrive.
