Yesterday we did see a lot of birds with the same group, but today we needed to have a lot of patience.
They did love to see a Quetzal...when we stepped out of the car , we right away heard one. I saw in a flash a big bird flying...pretty sure it was one.
We did see this morning the Toucanet again feeding the baby's (the baby's make more sounds now), so that was nice.
But the Quetzal did let us down and also our puber Bell bird, heard him , but did not see him.
I was frustrated...the birders not so much...did not notice it. They went in the afternoon to the Quetzal trail and did see three wattled Bellbirds there, what was their goal in the afternoon...I am happy that they saw them. They are still in Boquete tomorrow morning , so they go again to the spot.
And then a couple of days Volcan , they will see a Quetzal...I would be surprised when not.
I was home and took the dogs to the same area, did a little hike and I did step out of my car and yes...right away a female and male Quetzal and later all over the place Quetzal sounds and I did spot 2 more males.
The male Quetzal has no tail, we spotted that one 3 days ago....but he has a wife...her picture failed , but I have a picture of our tail less guy.
I came home , ate a sandwich , looked out of the window and saw a group of gray headed Chachalaca's flying by...this one did land in front of my nose....
