The rusty bird right of the Honeycreeper looks a good fit for Red-crowned Ant-Tanager.

Yesterday...
Panama feeder. - a pair of Collared Aracari's (Toucans) - Chestnut-headed Oropendola again - Green Honeycreeper again - Variegated and Red-tailed Squirrel ...and in the image from Thursday, there's a whole menagerie of birds but what is the rusty coloured bird on the right of the Honeycreeper?
Cornell New York feeders. - Red-bellied Woodpecker - Blue Jay
Ontario feeders. - 2 Evening Grosbeak - Pine Grosbeak
If you look carefully the Evening Grosbeak has a similar face and bill structure to a Hawfinch
I made the mistake of clicking on the link to this a few days ago, now i cant stop watching it! The other day instead of working I found myself sat streaming it through my phone, watching a Coati raiding all the fruit off the feeder in the middle of the night
Martin, I think that night feeding animal is a Common Opossum. Was this it?
Cheers John
I'm not sure now, but the one I was watching had a bushy tail and more of racoon face markings.

9.16pm our time, on panama feeder...together! - Chestnut-headed Oropendola - Green Honeycreeper - along with the Tanagers and Thrushes

Wow! Only ever heard of this bird below just been on the feeder in the last hour. - Chestnut-headed Oropendola Also - Blue Grey Tanager - Flame-rumped (Yellow-rumped) Tanager - Variegated Squirrel - Red-tailed Squirrel
On the NY Cornell feeders... - 3 Mourning Doves and a Blue Jay
On the Ontario feeders... - male Pine Grosbeak and a Blue Jay also
It's probably a 2nd winter Herring Euphonia Mike, I can't separate them either!

Euphonias - even in the field its necessary to really get ones eye in to sort out these teasers. Its hard to see if the bird in the shot has yellow into the chin and throat or a solid dark blue throat and breast. It does show a restricted yellow fore crown possibly not extending back beyond the eye, and a more golden tone to the underparts, so another possibility would be Fulvous- vented Euphonia? (Race in Panama would be fulvicrissa).
Cheers,

Also yesterday... - Red-crowned Woodpecker - Crimson-backed Tanager
...and also one of the Euphonia's but I can't tell which one as the Thick-billed and the Yellow-crowned look the same to me,
It is a Varigated Squirrel John, an absolute belter. The Red-tailed Squirrel was a corker too but it could be worth looking out for these Mammals as there are a few even rarer Squirrels that live in Panama and fairly little is known about them. The Western and the Central American Dwarf Squirrel, and Bang's Mountain Squirrel which doesn't look too much unlike a Red-tailed Squirrel.

A different squirrel on the feeders a moment ago. I think it is Variegated Squirrel.
Common Opossum .... always brings "The Beverly Hillbillies" to mind.

Since I was a kid I never really got my head round why some Americans say Possum when the true American Mammal is an Opossum. To me, the Possum is a totally different Mammal of Australia and the only link is they are both Marsupial, not related as far as I know. Pretty sure Possums in Australia were called that after Opossums were first named.

Another hour has just vanished watching this Panama cam. A Clay-coloured Thrush made an appearance along with a Tree Squirrel (Red-tailed Squirrel).
There's another live camera on feeders in Ontario, and an absolute belter on feeders in Cornell Lab's backyard in Sapsucker Woods, Ithaca, New York State.
Just had these on the feeders, they look like... - Downy Woodpecker (male) - House Finch (male) - and what could be just immature Goldfinches (and not what I was debating as being Pine Siskins??)

You're right about it being addictive John, I tried it yesterday and before I knew it half hour had passed.

Cornell University have set up a HD webcam on a bird feeder at Canopy Lodge in Panama. https://youtu.be/hHX9l2cvw-E It is live feed although it is also possible to rewind 4 hours to see what you have missed.
