Orange-chinned parakeet        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Of the many species of parrots in Central America, the small, noisy orange-chinned parakeet is probably the most common.   As can (not) be seen in the photo, the orange chin is often very hard to notice.   This one was photographed in Gamboa, Panama.
