Panama Fruit Feeder - El Valle de Antón, Panama

Toucans, tanagers and honeycreepers flock to the bananas and papaya laid out on this fruit table in El Valle de Antón, in Panama's Coclé Province, with the green rainforest of the hills all around.

The feeders sit beside a small stream at just over 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level, where the air is cooler than on the lowlands. The forest around the town is home to hundreds of kinds of tropical birds.

El Valle is built inside the crater of an old volcano, a flat, wide bowl about 4 miles (6 km) across. The volcano last erupted around 300,000 years ago, and its slopes are now covered in forest.

Did You Know? El Valle was one of the last places the Panamanian golden frog lived in the wild. It hasn't been seen there since around 2009, and the species now survives mainly in conservation programs.
