Hi all, can anyone explain why this is SO damned addictive?!
I only found out about the cam ten days ago and this thread even more recently.
I've seen 17 of the 'official' 25 species so far but am pretty sure I also saw a Bananaquit in the flowers very briefly (I can't remember when). Also, of the hummers flitting around I tentatively id'd Green Violetear and Green-crowned Brilliant but I didn't think to scroll back. I'll know for next time!
I'm also pretty sure I keep on hearing Southern House Wren.
Variegated Squirrel for sure and what is the red one again?
Also, I can confirm one of the blue morpho's (most likely helenor) and Banded Owl Butterfly (caligo atreus); have a look at Canopy's latest newsletter;

I'm not either. Sure doesn't look like a Bananaquit to me in the screenshots provided.

 

[Mark Harper]

The ”Bananaquit” shown on the twitter account is a Buff-throated Saltator.

The "Bananaquit" on the "background vines" of the twitterfeed is clearly a Buff-throated Saltator. Major size and structure misjudgement. :eek!:

EDIT: Ooops, crossposted with Mark Harper.

Thanks, Rafael. I thought so too but wasn't brave enough to call it out. :t:

Any thoughts on the 'house wren'?

Is there a link to the photos?

You have to scroll back - it won't let me copy and paste the photo. I would say that it's a wren but I wouldn't know for sure what species.

 

[Belgianbirding]

Hi all, 'my' Bananaquit was independent of the ones on the twitter feed and I'm certain about my Mourning Warbler now since I scrolled back (but unable to make a screen capture).
The House Wren looked good to me, especially since I'm hearing it regularly (see my previous posts).

PS you have Red-crowned Ant-Tanager twice!

Trying to find the Wren tweet atm.
The link to the "Bananaquit" (the one that turned out to be a Buff-throated Saltator) clip is here: https://twitter.com/Saidhbhin74/status/974444333733679104

Looks good to me for House Wren.

A new mammal species, a second species of opossum, was seen yesterday night: https://twitter.com/PanamaFeederCam/status/975329027497000960

Anyone knows which species is this? Apparently they are considering this a Common Opossum in the tweeter feed (only acknowledging it to be a new individual for the night?).

 

[mark clements]

Two types of possum in January, mentioned in post 51.
I remember one looked like this one, but don't know what kind.

[Sharpbill]

Possibly 3 Opossum species. I saw this some time ago but have cropped the date stamp so don't know exactly when. By Google search I took it to be a Four-eyed Grey Opossum but happy to be corrected.

Cheers John

There was a hummingbird at approx 1545h local time today. I tried to do a screen grab but for some reason it just produced a black screen. I couldn't make out much detail but it had a bright green area on it.

 

[birdmeister]

Saw my first Rufous Motmot a few minutes ago. Very impressive!

 

[birdmeister]

Now my first Spot-crowned Barbets!
