Glasswings and more

After a couple of productive hours atop the canopy tower we looped through a trail at Rio Silanche.  This was as low in elevation as we got and some see-through butterflies were my first.

I assume they were some kind of glasswing, but that could be way off.

There were birds though.  Choco Toucan is one of the black/chesnut-mandibled family.

Similarly Choco Trogon looks to be a member of the Black/Slaty-tailed group.

Two years ago we heard Schiffornis in Panama.  Watching this otherwise nondescript bird repeatedly uttering their fairly unearthly hissing scream in the dark humid undergrowth was actually one of the highlights of the trip for me.

We found a few mixed flocks.  This is a canopy specialty, Rufous-winged Tanager.

A crappy pic of Scarlet-browed Tanager, another bird I was really looking forward to seeing.

Finally a Lineated Woodpecker that was searching for food in sight of the bus.
