several trips 4, 6,7 8th of June 2016

It is great to have a little bit more time , so I can go out more to other places and of course discover different areas...ahhh life is good! : This was on the 4th of June:
I did see in that area a nice bran colored Flycatcher, never did see it there...

Did go to several places. With my friend I did do a hike in the forest on the 6th of June and did found an blue big egg shell...after asking our neighbor and checking out internet...it is an egg shell of a highland Tinamou and yes we heard them very close by, where we did found the shell.They are great in hiding and we were not really bird watching but chatting a lot.(we were like lesser Goldfinches high up in a tree...chat chat chat :) ) He/she did stay close by but did not show..
Auch!! to lay an egg like that size!

On the 7th in the morning I did do birding on our farm , the lower part around the horse stable. Lot of birds are still singing and making nests.
 I did see the rufous and white Wren feeding 1 chick after the day that they fledged ..I think it was the same couple, but I am not sure, we have quit a bit of rufous and white Wrens on our farm...they are good in making baby's. ( see my post.. http://terryboquetebirdstory.blogspot.com/2016/06/terror-thrush-this-morning-5th-of-june.html )
This picture I took out of the office window, so beautiful those orange billed Nightingale Thrushes:



On the 7th of June in the late afternoon, we were in David town to do some shopping and decided to go to a place where it is waterbirds!!!all over.. Love that area and so much nests and activity...it is along the road, but these birds don't care. We were standing one hour there ..staring  to the many many birds...on the picture black bellied whistling Duck(L) Anhinga and giant Cowbird (R):

 Colony white Ibis:
 Colony snowy Egrets:

Well I will add the list down below...
Then this morning I did go very early to a wetter area around the 600 m. altitude. I did visit 2 places.
I did start with this nice scaled Pigeon and from there it went on and on...
My birds of the day was a couple of white vented Euphonias (male and female) very cool!Not lifers, but not really birds that you see a lot.
The amount of different species of Wrens was great!
My day was great!
Greetings from Terry
