Guna Yala rainforest near Nusagandi
The forest of Nusagandi is so humid, rugged yet rich in birdlife that every single trip is different.
On my latest tour with my friend Joris and Cedric we got some good birds.
Sapayoa which is easier in this area, was seen twice at Ibe Igar

Bingandí River area, had changed a lot, but the faithfull loyal White-thighes Swallow were present. Carti River area was also nice despite the continuous drizzle.

Yellow-bellied Elaenia
 The big surprise (for me at least) was to find 6 Wilson's Snipes in the grazzy area behind the soccer futbol field in the old airstrip near Gardi Suigdup pier! I had about 3 years without this bird and now we got 6 ver active and cooperative snipes.



On the way back we stopped at Km 23 to find a very elaborate mix flocks of tanagers were we expected a Gray and Gold Tanager. Tanager never show up but a pair of Yellow-eared Toucanets became the cherry of the cocktail.



More parrots and a very relax Red-throated Caracara were the end of  the day. The rainy afternoon made it slow at the end.

Will have to come back for the birds we did not saw: Splendid Woodpecker, Black-eared Wood-Quail, Speckled Antshrike and Slaty-winged Foliage Gleaner
