Panama Wildlife in June

Earlier this month the Ossett couple missed a couple of classes because they were on holiday in Panama.  Today, they sent some photos they took during this vacation.  I've shown the birds first followed by the mammals with one amphibian to break it up.
Here's a summary in their own words:   
We were in the Darien area of Panama and stayed at Canopy Camp and had three nights in the Canopy Tower (former US Radar surveillance). The Canopy was over the tree line in the rainforest and the top looked to all intents and purposes like a Fylingdales Golfball. We saw & recorded as a group 239 bird species during our nine days. The highlights included seeing the Harpy Eagle (a six month chick virtually adult size) and a very rare Crested Eagle chick five months old. Please note all the names ascribed to the wildlife was supplied by the photographer, and I trust all the attributions are correct.
