this morning ..no clouds in the sky ..only in the area of Palo Alto...but around the Volcano Christal clear as around our farm..
Up to the mountains!...I must say it was a "hard" decision because all over our farm I did
hear sounds of birds and of course while feeding the horses, I had my Binoculars nearby.
Did see Summer tanager, Wilson's Warbler, a rose breasted Grosbeak, golden winged Warbler..and more of our birds. But I did go..somewhat late towards the Quetzal trail.
The birds acted there like this Acorn Woodpecker...
Hiding!!! So I had a big work today to see them, but I had time and found them. As a reward..almost nearby the ranger station at the end a nice mixed flock ..thank you!
Of course the Flycatchers are easy to see..but then the migrants oh oh everytime a big work to ID, fortunately sometimes they give little calls..that helps a lot with the ID!
This is an eastern Wood Pewee...fortunately he gave me a nice call :I love these flowers and leaves(Hummingbirds too):Finally I did found a Frog with more color... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warszewitsch%27s_frog :I don't know a lot about frogs..I like them though...but in the cloud forest most Frogs do not have a lot of color, what I until now did see is mostly brown colors, so this one iscolorfull.These two ..ahhhh and the nice cloud forest behind them ..so beautiful!
