And back to the sun rising

It was rainy and this Two-toed sloth looked bedraggled.

When the wet sloth uncurled to eat something, we noticed she had a passenger.
Two-toed sloths are really two-fingered; two front claws, but three rear ones.

On the way back to Canopy Tower, we stopped at the lake next to the Gamboa ammo dump.
This Wattled Jacana flew up when we stopped.

On the leaf of a bush next to the road, we found this clear-winged moth.

In a tree next to the lake, this bird was flitting about.

Here's the yellow bird from another angle.

As we passed the soccer field in Gamboa, we saw Southern Lapwings
