Panama: Crossroads of the Americas

Text size: A A A

Situated at the junction of North and South America, tiny Panama is home to nearly 1,000 species of birds. Panama offers an exciting mix of species of North American as well as South American origin, including a number of regional endemics too. Right near Panama City is a wealth of habitats. Lush rainforest in the Canal Zone is home to such thrillers as Blue Cotinga, Ocellated Antbird, and Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo while the star species of the dry forest must be the odd but beautiful Rosy Thrush-Tanager. Mountains nearby provide cloudforest habitat for Russet-crowned Quail-Dove, Speckled Antshrike, Stripe-cheeked Woodpecker, Sapayoa, Gray-and-gold Tanager, and the stunning Violet-capped Hummingbird.
