A Buff-rumped Warbler stops by the Panama Fruit Feeder Cam for an extended visit as it looks for insects among the fruit offered. This warbler is easily identified by its drab overall coloring, buff rump, and its habit of constantly pumping its spread tail up and down while while foraging. Buff-rumped Warblers are common in damp lowlands and foothills, where pairs defend territories along waterways year-round.

About the Site
The Panama Fruit Feeder Cam is located on the grounds of the Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Antón, Panama. This site is just over 2,000 ft above sea level in the low mountains of Cerro Gaital, with a mild springtime climate year-round. A small stream called Rio Guayabo runs past the feeders in the background, and the lush landscaping of the Canopy Lodge grounds grade into the forested slopes around them. The feeding table is around 40 feet from the main lodge, and is one of several feeders provisioned throughout the day so that guests to the lodge are greeted to spectacular views of many of the common birds found in this ecosystem.
About the Canopy Lodge
The Canopy Lodge is a full service lodge specializing in nature tourism with a focus on birds. It is about 60 miles west of Panama City in the picturesque village of El Valle de Antón, right in the center of the gigantic crater of an extinct volcano. This is the largest inhabited crater in the Western Hemisphere and second only to the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. It is surrounded by the Cerro Gaital Natural Monument.
Canopy Lodge is one of a series of three ecotourism ventures developed by the Canopy Family. The first, Canopy Tower, involved transforming a former U.S. radar station overlooking the Panama Canal in Soberanía National Park into a unique birding lodge embedded in the canopy of the surrounding forest. Their newest property, Canopy Camp, offers a taste of some of the wildest lowland rainforest in Panama in the Darién region.

![Live Event: Celebrating the Hellgate Ospreys 2026 Season [Recorded August 5, 2026]

Throughout the hour, we relived some of the seasons most unforgettable moments with Dr. Erick Greene and researchers Megan Fylling and Sasha Robinson from the University of Montana Bird Ecology Lab (UMBEL), exploring the fascinating world of Ospreys, and getting an inside look at the research helping us better understand the Osprey population in western Montana.
