Below: The short trills of the local subspecies of Vermiculated Screech-Owl were common in the foothills around Nusagandi, Panama (August 2010). This individual was calling spontaneously, but flew in quickly to whistled imitations.

Below: A False Coral Snake (Oxyrhopus petola) found at night in eastern Panama. The large eyes are the biggest clue that we are dealing with a non-venomous species, though not catching that in the field made this an exciting encounter.

Below: This Nine-banded Armadillo was so preoccupied in its roadside foraging that it approached quite closely before noticing us. I was crouched down quietly 8' away before it looked up and ran into the forest (Gamboa area, August 2010).

Below: The calls of the Tungara Frog (Engystomops pustulosus) were one of my favorite sounds of the Panamanian rainforest (August 2010). Displaying males find a hollow area and boom their explosive "Tooong!" calls. This will be among the many sound recordings I post when I catch up on photos (someday!).
