early morning in Dolega area 259m/850ft..first Louisiana Waterthrush (transient probably)

5 AM my eyes opened, ready to go.. warmer area..Dolega area...10 minutes from David.
I did discover a new birdspot, I wanted to check it out and so I did..had to wait a little bit, because it was still dark.
I spooked a bus driver, he thought I was a dead person, poor guy...
After 10 minutes it was light and the people and birds came out more..
The first bird was a Turkey Vulture , he was still resting in a tree...then very soon buff throated Saltators and blue gray Tanagers in a cecropia tree for breakfast.
I did wait a little bit...it was somewhat silent and went to a place very close by where scattered trees and meadows were..little stream...cows...better area for this morning.
It was a great morning...
Did see the first Louisiana Waterthrush!
This Smooth billed Ani was Sunbathing, cool sight...
This white winged Becard catched a big butterfly..I never did see an eyering , this one had one...immature?
this lineated Woodpecker was doing a warming up...
