Jungle watch

A sure cure for the wintertime blues is the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's web camera at the famed Canopy Lodge in Panama. Many spectacular birds drop by the lodge's feeding table, including collared aricaris, chachalacas, various motmots, a variety of brilliant tanagers and woodpeckers, even butterflies. Here's the link to a front-row seat in the jungle: https://tinyurl.com/y9cjsry7. If you like to observe night creatures, the camera remains on round the clock.
