Panama: Arrival

A long day, leaving to the early-morning voices of Gambel’s Quail and Mourning and White-winged Doves, then a long layover in Houston to arrive here in Panama City just in time for a delightful and delicious dinner with Ana Maria and Jenia. We’re staying at the Albrook Hotel, with comfortable rooms and a charming staff (including a very talented chef, hurray!). It’s too dark for birds, though an unknown nightjar was singing when we arrived, a fairly rapid series of single, slightly churring notes. Maybe we’ll figure it ou, maybe not, but I’m sure looking forward to the next week!
