We have received from our great friend and Group Leader, Laval Roy, a compilation list of new birds to be added to the Birdlist of Sierra Llorona (and we did just that!).

During their stay at Sierra Llorona Lodge in March 2002 he was able to visit some of the best BIRDING spots in Panama and Colon . As eager birders where not to miss an opportunity to use their binoculars to spot a flying movement, this fantastic Group of Birders from Canada, led by our birding Local Guide Darien Montañez, made a final count list of 360+ species during their stay, plus the list that follows.

We have already received the visit from Laval and his crew for three consecutive years, and every year we all have the opportunity to experience some the best birding in the world!

See You next year Laval .
