Panama Live Cameras — 2 official webcams
Two cameras from explore.org, both on feeders: a fruit feeder at Cerro Gaital and a hummingbird feeder in Soberanía National Park. Panama runs fourteen hours behind Japan.
What you can see
Both are explore.org live streams, and both are feeder cameras. Rather than showing a wide view of forest, they look closely at the single point the birds come to, which means something is moving on screen for a large share of the time.
The fruit feeder in El Valle de Antón belongs to a lodge up on Cerro Gaital, at around 600m. The climate there is like spring all year; behind the feeder you get the thin flow of the Guayabo River and a garden that runs straight on into the forest on the slope. Fruit is topped up several times a day.
The hummingbird feeder at Canopy Tower is the observation deck of the tower on Semaphore Hill, in Soberanía National Park. It stands in the middle of tropical rainforest, and white-necked jacobins, violet-bellied hummingbirds and others arrive one after another to drink sugar water. Hummingbirds beat their wings too fast for a still image to hold; the live stream is where you actually see it.
The provider does not permit reproduction of its images, so this site carries no sample image for either.

Hummingbird feeder at Canopy Tower

When to watch
Fourteen hours behind Japan, and no daylight saving. 21:00 in Japan is 07:00 in Panama; 08:00 in Japan is 18:00 there. So the daylight hours run from the Japanese evening into the following morning. Open these during the Japanese day and both are dark.
They are feeders, so any daylight hour brings birds. The fruit feeder is topped up several times a day, so the cast of visitors turns over through local morning to evening.
Panama is close to the equator, so sunrise and sunset barely shift across the year. The provider gives no seasonal guidance for either, so neither does this site. These are cameras decided not by the season but purely by whether you open them at night in Japan.
