more nests and immature birds on the farm...

It is a very good year , this year. A lot of berries and a lot of insect. Never had  so much bugs on our farm, great for the birds.
The couple of rufous and white Wrens finally have baby's and I think they will fly out any moment now, they are pretty noisy. It took them a while to be at this point with all the bad neighbours around them.See my story 19th of May 2016...  http://terryboquetebirdstory.blogspot.com/2016/05/birding-on-our-farm-crazy-times.html
On this picture the female or male is resting, at least for 10 minutes she/he was sitting quiet like this:


 Above , the flight route.. always low approach, took this picture from the office window.

This morning a nice family of Tody Flycatchers, just out of the nest. 2 Years ago we did not have tody's on our farm, now we have 2 nests! This is one of the 2 immatures..:
The neighbours of the rufous and white Wren... 2 thick billed Euphonia's. They decided to make a nest in the hanging basket, before that they were busy with a nest in the palm tree in front of the basket, but they moved... the hanging basket is a apartment building where a lot of birds did have nests before.
First 2 x clay colored Thrush and then a nightingale Thrush and now the thick billed Euphonia's. The nest is full with baby birds, I think 3 immatures:


                     The male is sitting in front of the nest..I did not want to spook him...so a little bit dark...

In front of the basket in the palm a nest of the clay colored Thrush, probably the reason why the Euphonias did move... this is since a week:
3 Days ago in front of our bedroom...a clay colored Thrush  did start building a nest and now there is already an egg...
 And in our "Dutch" Starling nest pot a "Panamenian" House wren decided to make a nest with of course hair of our horses!


                                                   So we have a lot of entertainment around us!

The last days when I have had a little bit time, I did check our farm  and this is the result ...all the nests, immatures but also a new bird on the farm!!! A tropical Parula ...singing around ...Yes!!!
