fishing Ospreys 18th of October 2015

This morning it was such a beautiful weather that I decided to go to the small lake nearby and hope to see Ospreys.

 Last time I was there for 5 minutes , just to have a fast peek and I did see an Osprey , which I never did see before there.
And yes today there were two fishing, I was staring to this sighting for at least an hour...great!
I did make some small movies ..two with succes..Osprey in the water. As soon I have the link I will add it to this blog.

And then of course when I look around a bit there are other birds, 3 fork tailed Flycatchers were dancing in the sky in front of me. ..the "dance " look like black and white small Quetzales in the sky.
Other birds around me(see also my list...)northern Jacana...
                                                      Turkey Vultures...
                                                        Green Heron.....
Huh and a black bellied Whistling Duck, only 1..on the left of the great Egret, never did see a Duck there..
For the first there no Grebes...maybe they are not happy with those Ospreys.
And a little surprise ..a sapphire throated Hummingbird. I did see this bird lower land ..and in Caldera around the 600 m, but on this altitude  never.
and more ..see list:
