as a child with a candy box... 2th of May and 4th of May 2016

Yes my title of today is ..."as a child with a candy box".. I felt like that the last couple of days.
So much birds around me, so much songs, so much activity... I really felt like that child.
Hans and I did go to a new area on the 2th of May , just to explore and sit and enjoy the nature.
Of course birds were there too, so we did see nice birds.
Staring at Cliff Swallows above the river and listening to the nice songs of the chestnut headed Oropendolas and also the yellow billed Cacique was doing the song...both crazy sounds!
