Panama Day 9: #752-#767 at Los Altos de Maria

Monday we spent at Los Altos de Maria, another retirement community not yet completely built up relatively high in the mountains. But first we pulled over in the El Valle where some swallows were swooping including #752, Blue-and-white Swallow

I got three more lifers pulling out along the road to Los Altos de Maria including

753. Common Bush-Tanager
754. Black-and-yellow Tanager (spotted by me)
755. Ochraceous Wren
756. Gray-breasted Wood Wren

And then in Los Altos de Maria itself 11 more:

757. Pale-vented Thrush
758. Spotted Woodcreeper
759. Red-faced Spinetail
760. Rufous-browed Tyrannulet
761. Russet Antshrike
762. Spotted Barbtail
763. Emerald Toucanet (aka Blue-throated Toucanet, Aulacorhynchus prasinus caeruleogularis)
764. Snowcap (a local speciality Hummingbird)
765. Long-tailed Tyrant
766. Bran-colored Flycatcher
767. Spot-crowned Antvireo

I missed White-throated Thrush and Cinnamon-backed Woodpecker though, and sadly the Golden Frogs that used to be here are now extinct in the wild :-(

Only two days left and 33 birds to go to hit 800. It’s going to be close.
