Farm news...
Daily a group blue crowned Parrots with immatures in the forest, also the monkeys(white faced Capuchin)  are everyday now on the farm , because of ripe fruit. The 3 last nights I did hear the common Potoo again , great! Ah and a rufous tailed Hummingbird flew against the window, he did recover!
