birding in David and on our farm today 11th of July 2015 and a lifer for me...crested Bobwhite

Hans and I were up pretty early, we have guests in the cottages and so early breakfast for the nature lover guests and we had to do grocery shopping in David, so why not combine that with some lowland birds...yes!
Still we were in David area, direction Pacific coast at 8.30 pm..normally pretty late, but it was cloudy , so the birds were still pretty active.
Around 10am it started to be hotter..it was 31 degrees  Celcius when we stepped into the car.
Time for airco for us "mountain people".
A lot of different Seedeaters and pale vented Pigeons and great tailed Grackles, for them heaven because of the rice fields and fresh soil. (on picture an immature variable Seedeater)


                                     On the river of course a nice Amazon Kingfisher:



A beautiful  fast streaming jungle river...the name: rio Chico


In a tree a common black Hawk making his call:(a nice black bellied whistling Duck flew by(on the left:)


Quit a bit of different Parrots and Parakeets flew by...
these loud Parrots are yellow crowned Parrots:
nice Butterfly:


On our way to David , from Boquete..two Quails crossed over, probably immature. Unfortunately
I could not make a picture, we were driving. But I did see them very good!
2 crested Bobwhites..fantastic and they crossed safe over and walked into the tall grass along the road.
And almost home along the Wilson's bridge every day the Bat falcon is sitting there...

In the afternoon I hiked the trails in our forest before the rain started, good birds.
A couple of white winged Tanagers are making a nest high in a tree.
