There were tons of interesting birds in and around the Panama Canal today. I tried to capture some of them. I am absolutely not a bird expert, so any misidentification is unintended and not meant to mislead or confuse. It is simply that I am wrong.
Pelicans
Gulls
Vultures
This one was interesting - vultures were picking about some kind of roadkill and a single great blue heron was observing. Weird.
Swifts
Magnificent Frigatebirds
Great pics of the birds.

DeleteDo you use a camera on a tripod for these photos? We sure can't manage anything like this quality with our cellphones! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteEnjoying your blog. The birds you described as Kitebirds are actually Magnificent Frigatebirds non-breeding males, immatures or females. The ones with the red on the neck are Magnificent Frigatebird males in full breeding plumage.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying following your voyage. What you marked as kites are actually frigate birds as well … unlike the males, which have the red gular pouches and are black, the females and juveniles are black and white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, Erin. Noted and updated.
