ABOUT THE BIRDING
Lagunas de Chiriqui is on private property at a middle elevation site in western Panama. It consists of forest patches and several small lagoons surrounded by marshes. It's a good place to look for Masked Duck and Chiriqui Yellowthroat around the lagoons and several specialty forest birds including Pale-breasted Spinetail. The rare and local Black-breasted Wood-Quail is possible but difficult to see.
LOCATION OF SITE
