on Thursday 7th of March on our finca by myself

So I did go on the farm with the dogs and the binoculars more or less then 2 hours , watching the birds...let's see what was going on.
Lately not too much time for that, but that day it was beautiful weather on the farm...horrible weather higher in the mountains...sun and no wind  on our farm , so nice always.
O.K. I am fighting with sprinklers, to keep the garden and meadows green...fortunately we have 3 springs on the farm, so we can keep some areas green. The birds and other critters  are happy with that.
Many Hummingbirds and Warblers(especial the Tennessee Warblers) and the Thrushes are bathing them selves in the misty sprinklers, fun to see.
I did try out my camera, to take some bird pics and was sitting on the bench in the forest, watching the birds in the many berries.Walked in the garden and on the meadow and in the coffee farm .
I did see 4 new birds on the farm...probably because it was such a bad weather in the mountains...
A tropical Parula and thick billed Seed Finch and golden crowned Warbler and the day before I did see the Wood thrush...probably because of the big storm in the Caribbean .
