    Chiriqui Yellowthroat A female came into tape of male song at the roadside marsh a few km west of Volcan (see site guide)but no male. Perhaps nearly extinct here? The other highlight here was a calling White-throated Flycatcher - a difficult bird outside Mexico. cheers, alan

    Panama - any updates?

    Thanks Andrew, I think staying a night at the place you suggest may be the best plan for Cerro Azul (ref access etc). Our main target there will be Violet-capped Hummer and I'm hoping we can see that fairly easily (!) with a little time at the feeders. Do you think there is a good chance...
