We describe the patterns of nectar production, animal visitation, and animal movement at balsa (Ochroma pyramidale, Malvaceae) trees. Individual flowers opened for one night and nectar production was highest in the early evening, declining over the night, totaling 25.5 ml/flower. Sugar concentration averaged 12.4 percent and decreased through the night. Each flower produced an average of 11.6 kcal worth of nectar over one night and a large tree at peak blooming (60 flowers) offered 705 kcal to lure in pollinators each night. We recorded 22 vertebrate species feeding on flowers including 13 diurnal birds, two diurnal mammals, five nocturnal non-flying mammals, and at least two bat species. Kinkajous (Potos flavus) were the most frequent visi...
