White throated Crake has breakfast

Mostly you hear them , but we were lucky that due road blokkade(protest against copper mine a few weeks ago), a farmer dumped platanos (kind of banana) That load was over ripe and not to sell anymore. 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. Taken on continental divide / Palo seco bosque protector in Panama

My bird of today... Snowcap male

Today I did go very early to the continental divide (bosque protector Palo seco) You can see there a lot of times birds that you don't see every day. It is an area where you can see birds from Caribbean side and Pacific side. One of my favorite areas here in Panama. 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. 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...
