sneaky birds...

This morning I did go to one of my favorite areas in Boquete on my own to hike and watch some birds(and wildlife) .
It was beautiful weather and no wind.  I did start with a big group of Coati's (counted 8) . Then I did see the three wattled Bell bird, male and an immature male. On the Quetzal trail they are already gone since end of July, but in this area they are still around. Pretty late. I think it has to do due bad weather in Bocas del Toro these last months.
Normally the Bell birds are gone in this time of year is my experience.Later on also a big group of white faced Capuchin Monkeys.
A lot of food around and also nice flowers for the Hummingbirds.

Of course I do like the "sneaky birds"... 

The area where I was this morning is great to see White fronted Tapaculo's...still hard to take a picture, but you have to believe me... 

Another bird what is always more difficult to see and for sure to take a picture..the white throated Spadebill...

Then another sneaky bird... Chiriqui Quail Dove.

And yes I think a sneaky bird is also the tropical Parula, they have beautiful colors, but still hard to find a lot of times , so high up in the trees ... and they blend in a lot of times.

Any way here is my list of this morning...
