The Panama Canal II - 20 Mar 2016
More Magnificent Frigatebirds appeared as we motored out into the river and past navigating freighters.
As we motored back to the dock a flock of Black Vultures were kettling overhead. We had seen them all day, but this time one bird looked like an inverted Turkey Vulture in terms of coloration, but had the shape of a Black Vulture: A King Vulture! Woo-hoo! I would be unable to photograph it from the moving boat and would have to settle for nice binoc views.
