Hello Everyone - When I posted our last updates for La MICA Biological Station I mentioned that we were preparing a new book on the birds of central Panama. Some people wrote and asked to be alerted with the book was available, which it now is. See information below: Birds of Central Panama / Aves de Panamá Central (First Edition) By: Julie M. Ray Photos by: Joseph and Jonathan Lautenbach List compiled by: Santana Arcia and Ken Allaire Birds of Central Panama / Aves de Panamá Central (First Edition) is a checklist including over 375 birds found in central Panama, specifically around La MICA Biological Station and Omar Torrijos National Park near El Copé, Coclé Province, Republic of Panama. This is the first comprehensive list to be published for this area of Panama and is a great supplement to other avian literature available for Latin America. The book includes over 25 colored pictures and information on the area. All text, including bird names, is in English and Spanish. All proceeds will be donated to conservation-oriented research conducted in the El Copé area through La MICA Biological Station and the incorporation of local Panamanians in such studies. Books are printed when ordered. To order visit http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2155541. If you would like to order in bulk, please contact Julie at [email protected].
