Panama Observations (DRAFT) (7/4 to 7/18/2010)

Visiting sites near Gamboa, El Valle, and Nusagandi. Bill Hubick (compiler), Rebecca Hubick, Tom Feild, and Geraldine King. Photos at http://billhubick.com/photos/updates/20100719.php.

WJH: I believe the lists and mammal lists are nearly complete. The other lists (Reptiles & Amphibians, Butterflies, Odonata, Other) are works in progress. Note that the Bird list has an annex of that I did not see.
