Panam谩 Province
This 258-hectare wildlife reserve was established in 1984 to protect a key avian habitat. Taboga and nearby Urab谩 are home to one of the world's largest breeding colonies of brown pelicans, with up to 10,000 here at any one time. The reserve covers about a third of Taboga as well as the entire island of Urab谩, just off Taboga鈥檚 southeast coast. May is the height of nesting season, but pelicans can be seen from January to April.
There鈥檚 a large colony of turkey vultures here too.
