birding with my dog Spot and 2 western Pewee's 4th of August 2015

So nice to go out on a beautiful early morning with my dog Spot, he really get's it now.
He is patience and know that it is a serious thing...

I did go to our other farm in Boquete (27 hectare) and today it was Summer and a lot of great birds to see!

When we bought our farm 18 years ago, it was mostly, like our neighbours still have , meadow for the cows. But we left it there and the forest is coming back, really nice.

A lot of Oak trees and the Acorns were on the ground.

Mmm some parts get really closed in by the forest, this was a great birding area though;

This is the view from one of the areas on our farm:

2 western Pewee's ...beginning of the migration!

On the way back a lot of immature and molting blue and white Swallows, all brushing their feathers...

And of course the bird list of this "wauw" morning
