tropical screech Owl on finca Habbus de Kwie

18th of June 2020

Hello everybody, good birding times today... suddenly I did see a tropical screech Owl perching...I heard some birds calling, but to be fairly honest I thought that is was because of my dogs...but they were behind me, so then always take the calling serious, so I was checking the forest and yes there he/she was... the "tropical screech Owl"

I must say..I am also proud on this picture that I took from 2 very cute, hungry... just perched red legged Honeycreepers..

So cute!I did make a video also... https://youtu.be/23JiAiVhV7c

You can check out my bird lists on E-bird

black Phoebe just fledged in Boquete Panama

17th of June 2020.. Hans and I did go today for the first time since more than 3 months to the ranger station of the national park volcan Baru ..sendero los Quetzales. Of course the park is still closed, so we did sit on the little bench and did drink coffee. Did see some birds and did enjoy the silence and sun. Then after 20 minutes there was a car and a woman stepped out...so we stepped in the car and drove away. We were not in the mood to sit there and wear mouth protection... So we passed the Caldera river and did watch this cute just fledged black Phoebe, we felt better again and did go to our home on the farm where we did drink coffee ...again.
Difficult times...
Stay safe
