Panama Birds

By James Kavanagh and Waterford Press

The rich avian diversity in Panama used to be one of Tropical America's best-kept secrets, but that is no longer the case as more and more people have come to recognize just how remarkable this tiny Central American nation is for observing and learning about birds. Over 1,000 species of birds have been recorded on this unique isthmus at the gateway to South America. These include North American migrants as well as neotropical specialties like antbirds, manakins, motmots, trogons, and thrush-tanagers. Whether exploring wetlands, beaches, lowland rainforests, or montane cloud forests, it helps to have on hand a portable and reliable reference with the most representative species. This beautifully illustrated resource features 140 common birds as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and peer more closely into the fascinating lives of Panama's birds. Made in the USA.
