Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Panama, 1963

Did you know that of the 365 islands making up the San Blas archipelago of Panama, over 300 are uninhabited? This makes it a perfect place for an ornithologist like Alexander Wetmore to study native wildlife! Explore the San Blas Islands with former Smithsonian Secretary Wetmore, and his team of Smithsonian biologists and taxidermists. This album documents the group's 1963 research trip to Panama.
