DuVal, E.H. 2005 Journal Panama City, Parque Metropolitano, Republic of Panama Mar 15 15 March 2005 - We went to the Parque Metropolitano in the morning where we saw an array of interesting birds: dancing lance-tailed Manakins (with a ♀ on the dp), four species of wren (rufus-and-white wren (Thryothorus rufalbus castaneotus); black-bellied wren (T. fasciatoventris); Rufous- breasted wren (T. rutilus hyperthus); and housewren). Also keel-billed toucan, red-throated ant-tanager, streaked flycatcher, blue dacnis (♂ fighting - fell to the ground at one feet). Crimson-backed tanager, white-shouldered tanager, Euphania sp., Crimson-crested wood- pecker, ♀ and undetermined species of Mot-mot. Also fork-tailed flycatcher. We then picked up our permits from ANAM ($5) and went directly to STRI for their weekly seminar series. I talked with Neil SanAg and met up with Sam Diaz-Muñoz, who fits in beautifully in Panamá and saves money by walking where I would taxi. We stopped at El Machetazo in the evening, then parted ways with Sam and ate at Cafe Manolo.
