migrants are coming through the last couple of days...14th of September 2015

This immature black burnian female was very active eating this pine tree empty.

It's a miracle that I have  a picture of her .

And this time is sometimes very confusing...check out this black and white Warbler, his "suit" has nothing to do with his "normal suit": Juvenile..it is amazing on such a young age ..such a big journey

 Miracles on wings

This afternoon this Caterpillar on our house, he was kind of fast and later I could replace him in a tree in the coffee farm.
In the future it will be a beautiful flannel moth...you almost want to touch him, he looks like a small cat. But when you do that, it will be ..like a lot of  caterpillars...very painfull...

  Then ...not a migrant...but along the creek on our farm , the nice buff rumped Warbler..always busy and moving around...finally I have him on a picture:

And then in the forest...Acorns all over... it feels very much like Autumn in Holland.

So much berries  and fruit at this moment, a lot of birds and animals are happy. (me too)

Also finally we did have some heavy rainstorms this week, that was really needed!
