Very sad for the farmer... but great for us and the crakes and sparrows and butterflies, morphos. There were a lot of flies and the crake was eating the fermented fruit.

</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is an area where you can see birds from Caribbean side and Pacific side. One of my favorite areas here in Panama. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I don't have a lot of times ..target birds, but today I was almost convinced that I could see the Snowcap, because this is the time of the flowers and nesting of the Hummingbirds. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Of course I was checking out a lot of other birds and sounds...but suddenly there he was... the male Snowcap. Not a lifer, but every time a great bird to see. And "every time" is not often... </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">

I did go today to Palo Seco forest reserve to watch birds and be alone in the great forest around me. As you see it is a stunning area here in Panama. A total different world only 1 hour and 10 minutes drive from our house. Interesting of this area is the different vegetation/climate/weather and you can find a big variety of different birds from Caribbean and Pacific ocean.... greetings from Terry</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">(you can see what I did see on E-bird... </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">https://ebird.org/profile/NjIxMjky/world)</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-16896754464283256552023-05-31T15:41:00.001-05:002023-05-31T15:41:31.045-05:00rufous browed Peppershrike singing<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/bTT_nR5j4IU" frameborder="0"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-68716765214804017552023-05-31T15:19:00.001-05:002023-05-31T15:19:32.501-05:00three wattled Bellbird male singing<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/UKLQRXcQq-w" frameborder="0"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-32419412311941029022023-05-31T14:38:00.001-05:002023-05-31T14:38:17.523-05:00buff throated Saltator a weird behaviour #shorts<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/T-WHqL9POgU" frameborder="0"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-10398163360043705372023-05-31T14:22:00.000-05:002023-05-31T14:22:07.966-05:00scarlet thighed Dacnis female stealing nest material<iframe style="background-image:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r9n0SfdYzwU/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/r9n0SfdYzwU" frameborder="0"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-28445759761948072052023-05-07T15:12:00.002-05:002023-05-07T15:12:12.285-05:00song resplendent Quetzal male #shorts<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/4LFxUIJ7oiM" width="480"></iframe><div>Hello hello...

They were flying around a huge kettle(group) of Hawks.</div><div>Did see mainly Swainson's Hawks, but also broad winged Hawks, Mississippi Kites and black Vultures.</div><div>It went on and on. Hans and I are every time with this event... stunned and happy to see them.</div><div>I am this year not so impressed by the migration of the Warblers... not when they did go to the south but also now going to the north... kind of worried about that. Every time when I do see or hear a migrant Warbler or Grosbeak or Vireo ... I do report it, for myself and for the records in the world.</div><div>You can check out my reports on E-bird.</div><div>This week I have finally some free time after a very busy season. More and more people go bird watching, it is really very popular and more people make reports, which is very good. </div><div>I try this week to relax and prepare for a Eastern busy time and then after ..chill a bit and see some....birds. Because May June also in Panama, is the time of the songs, nests and immatures!</div><div>Greetings from Terry</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326121764204797277.post-48062974100507959052023-02-16T22:55:00.000-05:002023-02-16T22:55:13.264-05:00<p> Hello hello!</p><p>Very good birds lately and I want to share some pictures...</p><p>Ornate Hawk Eagle immature today:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I live here in Panama and this will be my sister's first visit to Panama, so I would love for both of us to experience a well-guided birding tour in honor of our late Mother who passed away on January 7th of this year, who was a huge bird-nerd, and because we both LOVE birding, which we picked up from our dear mother! ☺</p><p>We are really hoping to see a Resplendent Quetzal, and I am aware that the best time starts in February, but we are hoping it may be possible in early January? We would be open to whichever tour you would recommend for that, and a variety of other birds and maybe other wildlife. </p><p>We hope you are available, and I look forward to your reply.</p><p> Kind Regards"</p><p>And so yesterday it was January 7, the sisters did have their binoculars and camera ready, the eldest sister even had her mother's jacket on. It really would be a day with many memories of their mother. Their mother died 1 year ago as a result of colon cancer. All stories about her indicated that she was an avid bird watcher with a great love for birds and a great mother. Had lots of birds in her yard, always busy with them, feeding boards, hummingbird feeders, even in the cold winter. I think I would have liked their mother very much :)</p><p>It was a clear blue sky and super warm for the cloud forest. But yes we started with a male Quetzal, flew over us, then a female was perching in a tree and later 2 females flew away and a male without a tail.. That was already a nice surprise! We saw some other birds, all good! And a group of Capuchin monkeys. And a very nice immature ornate Hawk Eagle. The birds were hiding so I decided to go into the dense forest after lunch. Birds don't like bright hot sun, they like the shade ..like humans. During lunch I heard a Quetzal in flight, so that was hopeful. The eldest sister already had a good picture of the female Quetzal, but one of a male was missing :) </p><p>We were standing in the forest and suddenly there was a flash of red above us... a male Quetzal landed above our heads on a branch, sat there and went to clean himself and every now and then he looked at us. </p><p>Okay...is there more between heaven and earth? Yes right? I had the feeling that their mother was watching and enjoying her 2 daughters and the Quetzal of course😊</p><p>What a special beautiful day this was!</p><p>Greetings from Terry</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm283Fa_QjSksiRKUHAAos2wfOxS3pOBrkoi26PuDz5b-B8c-Y5IIJXJVhyee1BE6aRnvSu5jWeZEp_Imi58pCSOvzmpdYeCX11ZqEfadLTNyA0eso-I4XYpgq5WKo-q2YB331Rkt9MAkPnis1A7DAFpZllGqWrNcnuGkgbmr5SrpdYtdTYWunokwL/s3840/Qvideo2_Moment1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm283Fa_QjSksiRKUHAAos2wfOxS3pOBrkoi26PuDz5b-B8c-Y5IIJXJVhyee1BE6aRnvSu5jWeZEp_Imi58pCSOvzmpdYeCX11ZqEfadLTNyA0eso-I4XYpgq5WKo-q2YB331Rkt9MAkPnis1A7DAFpZllGqWrNcnuGkgbmr5SrpdYtdTYWunokwL/s320/Qvideo2_Moment1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the male Quetzal above us</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9l7jOzeeAwyWnvKwvfPpOiAkeKzB2mgee9Jsudd_6qX-Xf1MBcYAssVphMvxmhVV6u36hfGEQnWman6eKonpPuWxWlRnF7Beea125AhtYi7T0QhNgvJ6Z_ytE-TattZ-brfbgwMJD8GLRk42Iqew3BHcKBe-Y56RLqi1rRM2pfIOs0PtpiOs2t0w9/s658/zusjes.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="447" data-original-width="658" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9l7jOzeeAwyWnvKwvfPpOiAkeKzB2mgee9Jsudd_6qX-Xf1MBcYAssVphMvxmhVV6u36hfGEQnWman6eKonpPuWxWlRnF7Beea125AhtYi7T0QhNgvJ6Z_ytE-TattZ-brfbgwMJD8GLRk42Iqew3BHcKBe-Y56RLqi1rRM2pfIOs0PtpiOs2t0w9/w321-h179/zusjes.JPG" width="321" /></a></div> the sisters watching Capuchin Monkeys<div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_kt-_QU0D6C7VSPX2CQ07ipMnf3EJrOKrmkc7SvHiXAKiG-e8Fx8PThg7DTi3qYw-KpY1SoUHkmk43pa6r0r8lg0C5s1JKMR9vDud6FHmc9FPfJoXS2AysEq2CLg5K7NrlUsvX5UgMtqXCyVBAILa1rjZtz7Nc6G9TtfOHY5S4aDgqksJVh_sz6Vy/s1549/image_50757377.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1162" data-original-width="1549" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_kt-_QU0D6C7VSPX2CQ07ipMnf3EJrOKrmkc7SvHiXAKiG-e8Fx8PThg7DTi3qYw-KpY1SoUHkmk43pa6r0r8lg0C5s1JKMR9vDud6FHmc9FPfJoXS2AysEq2CLg5K7NrlUsvX5UgMtqXCyVBAILa1rjZtz7Nc6G9TtfOHY5S4aDgqksJVh_sz6Vy/s320/image_50757377.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSxaN2MgDnhrywr5Wie4_aUSkSw5Bd0mWh19QYfZHagV7ygFvrXt-PvEGbJHBhS0HSAOC7Uvz8dP0HSnFKP6z82_7RZ-3iC2aVkdoEQhZ3f0pH3HB49TxKQY-QXywS3UPlNKM3DFVdwu4_FdAHMzUuRzZFG-LoGoqnoEjrwXXb7ZIbk2th9eUCY6u/s2015/image_50455297.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1511" data-original-width="2015" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSxaN2MgDnhrywr5Wie4_aUSkSw5Bd0mWh19QYfZHagV7ygFvrXt-PvEGbJHBhS0HSAOC7Uvz8dP0HSnFKP6z82_7RZ-3iC2aVkdoEQhZ3f0pH3HB49TxKQY-QXywS3UPlNKM3DFVdwu4_FdAHMzUuRzZFG-LoGoqnoEjrwXXb7ZIbk2th9eUCY6u/s320/image_50455297.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> The sisters did send me these pictures already</div><div><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 13px;"> (these are photos from the image viewer of their camera)</span></div><div><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Checklist Comments: sun,
