Dear fellow birder,

Welcome to !

We are confident you will have a memorable natural history vacation in our beautiful country!

Towards this end, we have prepared this handsome and mammal checklist to make your experience more rewarding and to help you remember all the you will “discover”.

Rest assured that our highly-trained, bilingual guides will do their best to find as many and mammals as possible for you, and that our kitchen staff will delight you with a delicious mix of Panamanian & American cuisine each time you return from the field!

Now, please look out the window and start feasting your eyes on some of the 616 bird species and 74 mammals species listed here. It would be impossible to see them all in one visit, so we expect to see you again soon!

All the best,

Raúl Arias de Para President © Orange-bellied

52 El Valle de Antón Anybody who has compiled, or attempted to compile, a bird list knows very well that this is an arduous task requiring perseverance, attention to detail and knowledge of the subject. Carlos Bethancourt, the Canopy Family's Senior Bird Guide, has all of these attributes and has combined them perfectly to produce one of the finest bird lists I have ever seen in all my years of bird watching. It shows not only the presence of a particular species but also its relative abundance, its name in English and Latin, plus it contains excellent maps of the birding spots that we visit regularly.

But, of course, Carlos did not accomplish all of this alone. He received the enthusiastic support and the extraordinary field experience of the rest of the staff of professional bird guides, namely Danilo Rodriguez, Danilo Jr., Moyo Rodriguez, Eliecer Rodriguez, Tino Sánchez, Domi Alveo, Alex Sánchez, Nando Quiroz, Michael Castro and Jenn Sinasac.

Our gratitude is also due to Terry Moore and Jeff Bouton u of Leica® Sports Optics for sponsoring this project and for their overall support of our guides; to Marshall Iliff, previously a VENT leader and now with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, for many ideas about what constitutes a great bird list.

We also want to recognize our dear friend Ken Allaire for his expert input over the years, now birding in heaven, and Jerry & Linda Harrison and Jenn Sinasac for their unwavering support and © Golden-hooded Tanager by Rafael La editing of this checklist.

Kelvin Cedeño, our graphic designer, survived countless changes and several late nights at work. Tino Sánchez made the painting of the Orange-bellied Trogon, which adorns this booklet. As you can see, Tino is an accomplished artist as well as a world-class bird guide. Many thanks to Rafael Lau for his incredible photos featured in this checklist, and for being part of the Canopy Family.

Finally, any mistakes in this checklist are our responsibility; however, all the joys and rewards of using it are yours! Happy birding! Mil gracias a todos! 59 60
