New bird on the farm...slaty Flowerpiercer

Yes it's been a while that I did post something, but before the high season , we  always have a lot to do. We did have several guests, very nice... all birdwatchers and I did go on my own and with some other birdwatchers on trips. Good birds!
This week we did see the first rainbow and the Summer seems to start now. Today a strong wind from north, means on our farm a lot of birds, because we are in a valley, so protected for the wind. That means while inspecting our trails in the forest, a lot of birds did greet me!
And I did see the female of the slaty Flowerpiercer working on flowers, I had to look a couple of times to be sure...and I am , know this bird very well, but never seen on our farm...
Yes!!! so we can add that one on our  bird list  http://coffeeadventures.net/bird_list.html

This male slaty Flowerpiercer was taken by Hans ( alto Chiquero Boquete 1800 m):


Have to move on now..up into the coffee farm...picking coffee!
