Abstract

Panama being a bridge between both ends of the continent, it has a great abundance and diversity of migratory birds which visit the different parts of the country, despite this, it is still unknown with certainty which are the areas most visited by them during their process of migration. Between October and November 2019, observations were made in El Valle de Antón in the Province of Coclé, with the aim of determining whether, by its natural, urban and altitude conditions, it was a favorable point of observation for these species that perform high altitude flights. Through the generalized search, a record of 544 individuals, 32 species, 9 families and 3 orders were obtained, obtaining 22% of the migratory birds registered for the country; the order Passeriformes being the most diverse and abundant with 7 families, 27 species and 526 individuals.  Despite the great urban development that El Valle de Antón presents, it can be considered as a transit point within the migratory routes to be followed by the different species and individuals, however, the care of these green spaces, gardens and large edges of forest in or near the El Valle village is of utmost importance to ensure the annual visit of Neartic species.
