Hawk migration was last week pretty good for us.
Mostly broad winged and Swainson's Hawks(picture).. and even a Zone -tailed Hawk pretty low fly over the meadow!
Rainy season is coming ..."our" birds know that...
This thick billed Euphonia male is fighting in the mirror of the car already for more than a week, poor thing, those hormones.
The clay colored and white throated Thrushes are singing loud and today I did see at least 3 clay colored Thrushes making a nest in our coffee farm.
Then in one of the meadows I did see that a pair of white tipped Doves have a nest with two eggs...I never knew that they make a nest so close to the ground, I wonder if that will be a succes.
It's a weird time of the year, I was looking in our agenda and normally we would have now guests, trips and be busy. I feel sorry for the people who are now at home and missing their vacation...but most of them are coming later..next year. Now it is important that we all stay healthy.
So suddenly I have time to go into our farm and enjoy the birds..although sometimes it is hard to enjoy when you watch the news. But the nature and birds around us relax ...I know ...we are lucky.
Down below the lists of the last two days, to give an impression what happens here..bird wise.
Also some pictures of the ornate Hawk Eagle from one of my last birding trips with a Russian couple.
Probably next time when I see him/her, she/he will be adult, her/his feathers are changing fast now.
And I will end with a picture of this Tennessee Warbler out of honor for all the migration Warblers and other birds ...who are going to the north at this moment..hope they will arrive safe and make a lot of baby's.
Greetings and strength from Terry
