Birding morning on the pacific side

A day off....I went with Dan Kay and Ian to a birding spot on a level of more or less 700 meter , Pacific coast. You will see on the pictures, it was great weather and later on the clouds came in , which was good for us. Not too hot.Stopped on the road next to the river to see the nesting spot (above the river) of a big group of white collared Swifts...I had to zoom in  and of course it was dark, but you see two Swifts hanging on the nests. (by the way, when you click on the picture, the pictures are bigger)

A lot of different butterflies  this morning, Dan was kind of hoping he get me more into the Butterflies, I love them , but for now I stick to the birds... still a lot to learn about them .
This Butterfly is beautiful though...the starry night cracker. ( http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Amazon%20-%20Hamadryas%20laodamia.htm )
