In this tree... there were a lot of birds and one bird was a yellow billed Cuckoo, not a new bird for me , but for sure a bird that we don't see often nearby our farm! Unfortunately the bird flew out when I was going closer to the tree... the tree is beautiful and you can see it was pretty cloudy... the Cuckoo is somewhere in the tree:
The view on Volcan Baru this morning at around 7.30 am:
Anyway, for me and the birds the weather was great..lot of food for them. (some insects for me :) )
A nice meeting with a little Tinamou and a crested Bobwhite, my morning was already good.
Then in a high grassy field I did hear the song of the Masked Yellowthroat.
I did start with a nice female and then a very curious juvenile male (still rufous on top of head , nape and side) I took a picture of him and a video , placed it on youtube:
https://youtu.be/61HY3dRgXC0 you will hear his call too.
Later I did see 2 more males... singing
And I was almost at home (around 11am) and there was a big army Ant Swarm, not too much birds around this Swarm, probably the birds were already full with food. But some cool insects ...who were freaking out...:
Also a cool video on youtube of the Ant swarm
