This is a green kingfisher that flew into a glass door. It was a little confused for awhile and may have had a minor concussion, but Loes nursed it back to consciousness and it was fine.

Wildlife spottings
I have seen a bunch of cool animals in Panama, including a jaguarundi, coatis, lots of crabs, birds, insects, spiders and sloths. Here are some photos:
This is one of my favorite animals, a three-toed sloth. They are easiest to see in Cecropia trees, though they eat many other types of leaves.

This is a Junonia evarete caterpillar. It specializes on black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) leaves during the rainy season (this photo was taken in January).
This is a hummingbird in a cashew tree. The fruit of the cashew tree is edible, but the nut must be roasted because it is toxic if eaten raw.
