In this thread > [@Delayed sunrise in Panama](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/delayed-sunrise-in-panama/954649/31): > > You’d have to ask Colibris. IANAO(rnithologist). he said he was taking medication. Not sure if those were his last posts. It sounded to me like he wasn’t thinking very clearly at the time. I thought the confusion might have been due to having set the clocks back, although I’m not sure when that happened in Panama. Rest in peace. ---
