10th to 15th of March 2016

Nice birds lately..but the last couple of months I am a kind of worried about the migrant Warblers.
I did go out quit a lot in different areas to watch the birds, but I must say,  did not see too much migrants.
Normally when I was picking coffee , there were always groups of migrant birds around, this year...very slow!
 I did go through lists of other areas in Panama(from other birders), but also in those list, it looks very slow with these birds.....is it the very warm dry season? Climate change? The very "dry" rainy season.
Curious what will happen the next coming weeks.
Two days ago the first big Hawk migration...big groups with broad winged Hawks.I was confused with the colors, the light was shining on them on a weird way. The next day I did see them first like on the picture and after that they got different light on them.Oh yes clearly broad winged Hawks Small movie: https://www.facebook.com/tinamoucottage/?fref=ts

Did see a couple of Swainson's Thrushes, so they are migrating. But like today...only 1 Wilson's Warbler and a chestnut sided Warbler and 1 American Redstart...well let's see what happens.
For the Trogons and three wattled Bellbirds...life is good..plenty of food for them!
Yesterday late afternoon(15th of March ) I did go out for the day with Dutch birders and we had great views on Quetzales .(bird lists see down below)
A white ring around the Quetzal :

I did make a small movie too... https://www.facebook.com/tinamoucottage/?fref=ts
Then last Sunday I took this picture of the scarlet thighed Dacnis male and female...better too see them when you click on the picture.
Hans and I did go on Friday to Rio Chico in David, to watch some birds there. Always exciting..but HOT! It was 33 Celcius at around 5pm, but we did see some nice birds...like this blue Grosbeak, he did have also already a female around him, that picture is blurry, so only the male picture...
Took a picture Monday late afternoon from this stripe throated Hermit in front of the little Tinamou cottage,  I thought it was a very cool picture...
And yesterday late afternoon finally a sharp picture of a green Hermit (I did count around 5 Hermits "song" > leks) in the cloud forest. He has yellow Pollen on his beak.

And so this was my story from the last few days, more exciting days to come!
Greetings Terry
