We tend to associate tropical locales with certain “exotic” aspects that we hope to encounter and this encounter we can experience at Panama Bird Photo Tour.

Usually, number one on that list of tropical requirements is a beautiful beach replete with clean sand flanked by coconut palms on one side and inviting turquoise water on the other.Beyond the beach, brochures of tropical vacation hotspots like Panama also show picturesque colonial buildings, a mountain or two, horseback rides, and other outdoor adventure activities.

Other animals can also make it onto a website or brochure but colourful birds are always present because we associate tropical places with colourful, “exotic” birdlife such as toucans, macaws, parrots, hummingbirds, Roseate Spoonbills, and so on.Go birding in Panama or Costa Rica and you will quickly discover that the brochures weren’t making things up!

Although macaws aren’t exactly common (except for Costa Rica where, yes, it is hard to miss seeing Scarlet Macaws), it’s not that tough to see lots of parakeets, parrots, a toucan or two, glittering hummingbirds, tanagers, and hundreds of other species.

The following five are a mere handful of beautiful bird species that live in Panama: Crowned Wood nymph: Talk about an evocative, exotic name!

See this common beauty at any number of humid forest sites in Panama.White-necked Jacobin: This is another common hummingbird in humid forest sites.

Panama might be best known for the canal but it also happens to be one of the most bio diverse places on the planet.

At Panama Bird Photo Tour one gets excellent opportunities for watching exotic animals like monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots, and other beautiful birds.

There are beautiful birds to see just about everywhere you go in Panama, even in the parks of Panama City.One of the common parrot species is the Red-lured.

Another common parrot is the Blue-headed.

Many species of hummingbirds are also frequently seen including the striking White-necked Jacobin, and the Snowy-bellied Hummingbird.As far as small birds go, beautiful tanagers are also a common sight.

Look for species like the Blue-grey, Golden-hooded, Crimson-backed, and Flame-rumped in gardens and forest edge.
