Panama Fruit Feeder Live Cam – El Valle de Antón

This camera looks at the fruit feeders at Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Antón, a town set inside a volcanic crater in Coclé Province, Panama. The feeders draw a steady stream of tropical birds, from bright tanagers to motmots and toucans.

What to see

• Flame-rumped and dusky-faced tanagers
• Red-crowned woodpeckers and euphonias
• Motmots, saltators and maybe a toucan
• Hummingbirds visiting nearby feeders

El Valle de Antón sits in the crater of an extinct volcano at about 600 m, surrounded by forested hills and waterfalls. Canopy Lodge is a birding lodge with gardens designed for wildlife, and its feeders are among the best places in Central America to see forest birds at close range. The area is also known for hot springs, hiking and Sunday markets.

Plan your visit

• Drive from Panama City (about 2 hours)
• Visit in the dry season, December–April, for sunny weather
• Book a guided bird walk with a local naturalist
• Explore the Chorro El Macho waterfall and Cerro Gaital

The crater valley is cooler and wetter than the coast, with rain possible at any time of year. Early morning is the best time for bird activity at the feeders.
