scarlet Macaws and Pearl Kite

This morning we went to the cloud forest in Boquete , did a hike, pretty wet, but did see nice birds.

Then a nice cup of coffee at finca Lerida , it started to rain. Back home.
We decided after lunch , when the rain was pooring down to go and find the sun... and some other birds .
It is so Cool that we can do that..up to the sun.. (2pm) from Boquete to direction David, you see the light....

And then after little bit more then half an hour...birds in the sun...
so tropical...

The highlight was around 5pm..next to all the birds going to their sleeping areas... 
first 2 Scarlet Macaws...then 4 Scarlet Macaws and the again 2 Scarlet Macaws...
8 Scarlet Macaws loud flying to their sleeping places...only one time I did see one in this area...but it is very unusual for a little bit outside  the town  David  to see them...very special.
