One Reason I Love Panama - Birds & Nature

I recently realized that I never mention one reason I love Panama.  

The birds! And living close to nature.   

To help celebrate I made this very brief (22 secs) video of some Cherrie's Tanagers.

All sorts of Tanagers are very common in our yard.
These Cherrie's Tanagers were in the palm tree next to my office window.

I get constant delight out of the bird life in Panama.

• Daily I hear flocks of parrots fly overhead.
• We hear, what we consider our owl, hooting in the evening.
• Dozens of blue-grey and yellow tanagers hang out in our yard every day
• Toucans visit when we have ripe papayas on our trees.
• Pygmy owls are both seen and heard sometimes.

And so many other birds.  I live much closer to nature here than I did in the States.

It isn't just birds.  I watch iguanas from my living room, I see numerous toads, and a wide array of interesting looking caterpillars, butterflies, moths, and more.

Of and I cannot forget to mention geckos.  They are nature in your house!  I love watching them - plus they eat insects.  I will have to do a video on them in the future.

I love living in nature here in Panama.
