Green Hermit
On a trip to Cerro Azul in the highlands outside of Panama City, we visited the Kaufmann House, which is owned by the American Karl Kaufmann and Rosabel Miro, who is Panamanian and the executive director of Panama Audubon. In the back of the house is a patio surrounded by eight hummingbird feeders. There are many flowering bushes and trees in front of the patio, and beyond these is a spectacular view of a valley. Take this beautiful setting and mix in more than a hundred manic hummingbirds of 13 species and you have the recipe for hummingbird heaven and Christmas Count hell. Sitting and watching this profusion of hummers can be exhausting. This Green Hermit was at one of the feeders.
