early this morning...

I did go to our other farm this morning..finca Potoo and did see good birds. It was very fast warm, so I was happy that I did go early.
This farm(24 hectares) was 20 years ago(when we did buy it) mostly pasture with some areas of forest. We left it and nature took it over. Now it is brush...forest and the new different Oak trees are producing acorns.

So happy with that!
And so this is the list of this morning:
