Inverts and fish (if I can identify any) and potential corrections or additions on bird/mammal/herp front will follow later. Panama (and probably the rest of Latin America) is fantastic, and resplendent quetzals definitely deserve all the hype they receive! I don't think I'll get away with not making a thread about this trip, so expect that some time in the near future!
