GREAT NEWS FROM PANAMA!!!
We recently had confirmation of an active Crested Eagle nest in the Darien, eastern Panama. One of the adults is a dark morph—this is the rarest plumage of the rarest Neotropical eagle.
We will visit this Crested Eagle nest in April on the Harpy Eagle Extension of our Panama Birds & Coral Reefs Tour. We will also visit an active Harpy Eagle nest, and a breeding site of Plumbeous Hawk.
The Crested Eagle is the rarest Neotropical eagle. This bird is so rare that for every 10 Harpy Eagle nests known to science, only one nest of Crested Eagle has been discovered.
I would like as many of you as possible to see this magnificent species in the wild with your own eyes. Therefore, now you can book the Harpy Eagle Extension without signing up for the Main Tour!
Registration deadline for the Birds and Coral Reefs of Panama Tour, 14-22 April 2025, and/or the Harpy (and Crested!) Eagle Extension, 22-27 April, is 15 March! Hurry up—limited places still available!
Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-life-time opportunity! And please share this exciting news with your birding friends.
DM for more info.
I look forward to enjoying this stunningly beautiful, rare raptor with you in Panama next April!
