Ovenbird story 23th of January 2017

This morning an Ovenbird did hit the window of our house... I was amazed because normally they  "walk" on the ground looking for insects. Was he spooked by something, we do have the whole day the broad winged Hawk around in the coffee farm and meadow. Maybe that was the reason...
This bird is migrating from  eastern USA all the way to Panama to hit himself or herself to a window in Boquete?!
We don't have these accidents a lot in the 19 years that we live in this house .
One time it was a immature thick billed Euphonia and another time a buff throated Saltator and one clay colored Thrush and now this one... poor thing


He/she was sitting like this for at least 2 hours and suddenly (Hans and I were staring at the bird from the living room..) the eyes did go open!!! 

Yess...high five!! and the Ovenbird flew, maybe with some headache.
Greetings Terry
