Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Panama, 1961

Did you know that the highest peak in Panama is an active volcano? Volcan Baru is over 11,000 feet high and lies just off the border of Costa Rica, in Panama's Boqueron region--an area Alexander Wetmore traveled to in 1961! This ornithologist, researcher, and former Smithsonian Secretary took these photos while studying the region in preparation for his book, "Birds of the Republic of Panama."
