Mega-ships coming out of the new set of locks
Took a long time to complete the new build
A native ibis – they fly with their necks and legs outstretched
First time we have ever seen them here
Always a pleasure to see something new
Possibly a migrant
There were only three in this flock
Kept up with the ship
Feed in flooded marshes for bottom-dwelling creatures
Many cranes of the port of Balboa
Busy port for Panama City
New Miraflores locks
Construction continuing near the new locks
Panama flag flies proudly
Gone fishing…..
Colorful tugs at Balboa
Panamanian naval vessels
Fishing in style
Pier at Balboa
Canal buildings
Another ship exits the canal
Locals fishing on a Sunday afternoon
Not exactly the yacht harbor
Local fishing boats
Boat landing
Small fishing boats
Amsterdam clearing the Bridge of the Americas
Bridge connects Central America to South America
Very colorful if not fancy
This has been here for many years it appears
Sure resembles the bridges in New Zealand and Australia
A party boat
Sunday traffic on the bridge
Finally out of the Panama Canal
Panama City in the distance
Female frigate
A local fireboat
One of many vessels on the Pacific side
This one suits us just fine
A famous museum out of Ft. Amador
Pelicans love these buoys
A solar-powered buoy with pelicans
Panama City and the long peninsula to Ft. Amador
Could be a pilot boat
So does this
Ft. Amador
Condos facing the canal zone
A wild and crazy ride
Ft. Amador
We over-nighted here in 2016 on the world cruise
Old fort on the top
A shrimp boat with a whole lot of pelicans
A very nice yacht
Bird island
New buildings on the opposite side of Panama City
More birds than boat
Incredible
More came as we watched
Hundreds of birds
They stretched for 100 yards
Here comes the Seven Seas Mariner
Twin pelicans
Pelicans soar inches over the water
One of hundreds of frigates
More pelicans
We should see more of these in Cabo San Lucas
A young bird
The most we have ever seen here
Heading towards Costa Rica
Ship waits for their turn to transit the canal
They all have a date and a start time
Sun was going down soon
Always on the hunt
Must be a lot for them to eat
Chasing the fishing boat
Many islands off shore
There must have been 100 vessels at anchor
Keeps the Panama Canal in business
