⇧ ⇩ Bird life in Panamá is fantastic, I did a lot of bird watching during my trip. The highlight was the Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno Quetzal , french: Quetzal resplendissant ) and the hummingbirds. I watched birds in the Soberania National Park, around the Mount Totumas Lodge, and around Boqutte.
