morning on the continental Divide(bocas del Toro/Chiriqui and a bird trip 15th of July

Hans and I went (a little bit later then planned arrived 9am) to the continental Divide, Chiriquí/Bocas del Toro. I love it there, for me sometimes a new bird, not this time, but there were some nice birds to see and the flowers were great. The birds are much more shy comparing with the places that I go in Boquete. I guess that is the reason why I put my finger on my mouth on the picture...sshhhhtttt!
