The palm trees at the entrance have the only Cattle
Tyrants in Panama City. Adjacent to them is a small
stream with shorebirds including Lapwings. 1-2 miles
on the airport road on the first left as you leave is
a small ranch with trees and ponds. Lots of birds in
the trees and pond. Yellow-headed Cracaras hang
around the airport.
