this morning 18th of July 2015 in the cloudforest, my bird of the day.. ornate Hawk Eagle (Juvenile)

I did not know where to go this morning, the weather was fine all over the areas around us...only towards Bocas del Toro was no option, a lot of clouds.
I decided  to go to the cloud forest.

 A nice area where I did see and hear  the Ornate Hawk Eagle and yes my goal was suddenly to see him better and even try to take a picture. Last time I did see an adult flying over, that was exciting.
I know they had a nest with an immature... ( http://terryboquetebirdstory.blogspot.com/2015/02/11th-of-februarycloudforest-1750-mthe.html )
With my "lucky"birding socks...

on and my dog Spot , who really decided to go with me...I could not get him out of my car...
I was on my way.
7am I was in the nature, no bright sun (fortunately), no wind... great weather.
On my way I did see  nice birds and entering the forest I did hear the Hawk sounds...I look around  and there he was a nice juvenile ornate Hawk Eagle...yeah! And yes I took pictures!

Goal reached! But of course more other birds!!
A lot of Three wattled Bellbirds..on the picture is a Juvenile and another bird on the left of him..a Mountain Thrush

And I took the picture of a nice dark Pewee...

Lovely morning! around noon Spot and I stepped into our car, before that, I did show the pictures to two man who work on the property(mainly coffee farm and a lot of protected cloud forest), they did see the Hawk Eagle before and they never did see him so good as on my picture, they were impressed, glad I could show them my pictures and movies...
Spot is getting a real good birding dog, he is patient and some birds or animals he points out , but he will stay with me. Great!and cosy.
He was thirsty so we did share my water, did not have a bowl, so this works too....

Did see some Squirrels, thanks to Spot and a Sloth..
