I am linking up with Friday Ark and Camera Critters
These are more pic's from my birding outing with Justo of Panama's Just Adventures
Arriving a day early for our tour allowed hubby and I to go out for our day of birding. Justo took us to the Discovery Center and the famous Pipeline Road. I got 30 new lifers from our Panama trip.
These are some of the birds and a sloth we saw at the Pipeline Rd and the Rainforest Discovery Center.
I hope you can check out more birds and animals on the Friday Ark and Camera Critters. Thanks to the host of Friday Ark and to Misty Dawn of Camera Critters. I look forward to these memes and to seeing all the birds and critters.

Pipeline Rd sloth, the first of three sloths we saw while in Panama for the week.
Rufous Motmot a beautiful bird and one of my 30 new lifers.
Social Flycatcher....lifer
Crimson Crested Woodpecker, similiar to the Pileated Woodie I see at home. Near this same spot we saw a Black Striped Woodcreeper. I was sorry to see it fly away before I could snap a pic. Both of these birds were also lifers.
Lots of new Hummingbird lifers, like the White Necked Jacobin another lifer.
The Pipeine Road, famous spot for birding in Panama.
A group of Black Bellied Whistling ducks, these are one of my favorite ducks. At this spot we saw the ducks, GB Heron, Wattled Jacana, Ringed Kingfisher, a beautiful Blue Dacnis. I was sorry to see that my photos of these beautiful birds were just a blurry mess. But, it was still exciting to see all of these new birds.
I hope you enjoyed my birds and sloth post. I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Birding.

Quite a number of birds!
I can imagine how excited I am with my telescope lens eyeing at them.
Your birds are a little more exciting than mine ;)
(Love the hummers by the poster)
Those are super enjoyable photos Eileen. I would have been so excited to see the sloth let alone all those beautiful birds.
What a beautiful, tropical place, and excellent shots. I've never seen a sloth (and probably not any of those birds either).
OOooohh!! love it all...especially the sloth...the rufous...and the hummers!! beautiful!
Quite an assortment! Great shots and congrats on the lifers!
that's a lot of critters, i like that last shot of all the ducks - cool finds!

SHADOWS & Sunday Summary
I love the sloth just hanging out
and the woodpecker is beautiful
we have one around here and I'm always looking for him but he avoids me at all costs
Magnificent shots!
Geeez! Panama! I'm envious. What a blast. I'd have to buy a badzillion more gigs of memory cards, that's for sure!
You did great in Panama. Both of my visits were non-birding ones. Over 40 years ago I studied tropical medicine in Panama City, but because there was so much travel and field work I was limited to 10 Kg of luggage, so the binoculars and bird books had to stay home. A more recent trip that included the Darien Jungle and the San Blas Islands was non-birding and I was not yet into photography.
Hi Eileen, As you can guess, my favorite is the Crested Woodpecker! I have never seen one but it is quite similar as you said, to the Pileated. Have an excellent Sunday!
I enjoyed your variety of birds and loved to see the sloth.
happy days
Great photos Eileen, looks like you had a great time!
