Would anybody be surprised if we reported it was another great day?

| OK..to be fair it was misty but...atmospheric |
In the mist fuelled morning we headed towards Panama City and the Metropolitan Park...not before seeing three-toed sloth at the tower.
The drive took longer than the reported time...no surprise due to traffic but we got there reasonably early and quickly saw a common potoo..what a great bird.

Many highlights followed although not always easy...

The afternoon provided a different suite of birds and weather (we were soaked in back of open top van) however at Gamboa / Chagres we had some great birds including Wattled Jacana, Yellow Crested Caracara, Prothonotary Warbler (at last!), Nighthawk, Peregrine, Lesser and Greater Kiskadee, Amazon Kingfisher, Fork tailed Flycatcher etc etc. the mammals, however, stole the show!
