sendero los Quetzales birding day

It was great...not too much sun, cloudy , Bajareque (drizzel) .
Lot of mixed Flocks
Highlights... a big flock of all flame throated Warblers, I did count 14 together.(my pics are all blurry whaaaaa!)I will put this one...


At the end ...Respingo... flocks of sulphur winged Parakeets, they were flying around us and were very close. We felt the wind of their wings...it was so cool.
Female and male Quetzal eating berries. Two beautiful black Hawks...I think they will make a nest on a very high tree on Boquete side of the trail.I have a picture of one of them...
