DESCRIPCION DEL AREA
Birding is done by walking through the first 4 km passing through tall secondary and mature tropical forest with some scrubbier areas. Along the way many small creeks will cross the road and give good opportunity to get into and follow them for specific species. 
The road was built in the late 1930 to service a pipeline that crossed from ocean to ocean but was never used.

These two books are an example of hard work put into, and for the benefit, of conserving Panama´s birds:
“The Birds of Panama, a field guide by George R Angehr and Robert Dean can be described as the “bible” for Panama and some Costa Rica birds. The latest edition (1989).This excellent field guide is highly recommended as your primary reference book on the birds.
“An Illustrated Field Guide to the Birds of Panama” by Ernesto Ponce and Giselle Muschett, 2006, 1st Edition. It can be described as “a descriptive fieldwork tool” for fast information .
Some other places besides Pipeline Road worth visiting at the Soberania National Park are Old Gamboa Road and Summit  Ponds.
