Here's my picture of the Squirrel and a link to their mammal list. I don't know much about Squirrels, but to me it looks most like the fifth panamanian Squirrel species, Bang's Mountain Squirrel, which doesn't feature on the list. It certainly looked different from the Red-tailed Squirrel which has just returned to the feeder at this moment

Very nice addition, already mentioned in the Cornell page. Note the webcam is not located on the tower but on the lodge, which is in a different part of Panama.

AH! That makes so much more sense now! I guess a few hundred metres further up does make a difference.
(Feeder was just being dominated by a small flock of Crimson-backed Tanagers a couple of minutes ago, but the Silver-throated was holding his own with them... the oropendola (P. wagleri) is back at the moment, another very nice bird.)

It is indeed! One of those tropical "dream birds".
I can't parse them all from the image; what is that bird on the left, in flight, with the white shafts in the primaries?

I think you're referring to a male Thick-billed Euphonia.

Yes. While shooting the screenshot i forgot that i could as well pause the stream for a better picture when all birds were still sitting on the foodtable

It's even better than that - you can "scroll back" through four hours' worth of buffer to replay the birds you missed, and then pause the stream! Thank goodness, because otherwise I would not have been sure about the Silver-throated Tanager ID; it was so "flighty" at first, I could not be at all sure what I was seeing. (Later, though, it returned and fed for an extended period).
Back to just thrushes on the feed table this morning. I want to be able to text somebody at the lodge, and say, "put out more bananas, your feeder is getting low!"

Also, going full screen helps me with ID

Lots of action among the usual suspects right now. I had a quick glimpse of a large butterfly before it left. Bright orange upperwings, very leaf-shaped underwings.
Great cam! I remember watching a good one that was in Brazil several years ago. Of course the birds were very different species-wise.

Brief visit from a Gray-cowled Wood-rail.

I haven't, but then I haven't listened very long after dark. I think it's a good idea, though.
But this reminds me - I heard a bird singing, quite loudly and distinctly, right after 1200 hrs yesterday. I meant to post about it, just in case someone could roll back the video and ID it; too late now, unfortunately. However, whatever it was, I don't think it was anything that was actually at the table - it had a distinctly finch-like or "emberizid" quality to it, about halfway between an American Goldfinch and a Song Sparrow.
P.C.

I haven't visited the feeder cam for a while. Has anyone seen any new species?
