Days 6, 7 and 8 of our trip are combined as we are eliminating the more common birds and getting into the ones that are more difficult to find. For day 8 we teamed up with Bill Fox on the recommendation of our landlord. He has retired here from Connecticut and has been in Panama for the last 10 years. He led us up the Culebra Trail which is on the slopes of Volcan Baru, and pointed out some nice birds for us. Thanks so much Bill. Nice to have someone along who knows what he is doing.
