a nice birding trip 27th of September 2015 and this morning birding on our farm29th of September 2015.. an early MacGillivray's Warbler

Well this morning it was great weather, the last weeks I am so restless...I hear everytime migrants in our forest..in the meadow... in the coffeefarm I cannot sit or go without my Binoculars..
Yesterday morning I was sitting on our terrace with my breakfast and did see 2 nice Sepia capped Flycatcher. I thought already weeks ago that I did hear them and  see them, but I was not sure. 
But now I am sure...for sure we have  Slaty capped Flycatchers on our farm..but the sepia capped is really new for the farm. Yeah!
According the bird book not suppose to be here , we are too high in altitude(1250 m) but maybe it is the weather change...el Nino is stronger then ever and since 2 weeks we can finally talk here in our area about a wet season. Means mornings...nice sunny weather and around 2pm..1pm.. sometimes 11am some rain showers...still a different wet season then normal with less rain..so the sepia capped Flycatchers like that and here they are....

Then this morning a nice male MacGillivray's Warbler... like last time on the farm, he was moving around the horse stable...is it the same one as last time?... I wonder.....

Exciting times. Yesterday a huge amount of black burnian Warblers came through... nice for the birdwatchers, they were beginners and it was nice for them that at the end of the morning they could say...ahhhh that is our friend ...black burnian Warbler...still every Warbler ...you have to check out very well..with the plumage at this moment it can be very confusing...
I think that one "black burnian Warbler " was maybe a black throated green Warbler, immature female...but I was not sure...
Some pictures of yesterday and today:
