Vermilion Flycatcher..female, a new bird for me in Panama


Hello! a Vermilion Flycatcher was spotted in the park of Boquete. For the third time I went there to find her. I have seen a male in Quito (Ecuador), but no female and besides it would be a new bird for me... for Panama. So I was motivated.
After a few hours in the park, I gave up and I thought ... let me go to the area where she was seen last time and then home...I met another birder there who had also been there a few times to look for her, we had met each other coincidentally the afternoon before.
Just when I was telling him that usually when I look for a bird that I want to see... I often don't succeed... But as soon as you are not so focused anymore, they come... When I told them that, I did see a smaller Flycatcher catching a fly right behind him... "heee I said, huhhhh... I looked behind him and at the same time we said ... that's her!!!" Wonderful bird moments!
My day can't be spoiled anymore!
Greetings Terry
