some nice trips and a new bird on our farm... a long tailed silky Flycatcher

Yes I was just feeding the horses..and there they were... 2 long tailed silky Flycatchers, never did see them on our farm in the 18 years... what exciting.
According the bird book , it is occasionaly possible even until 1050 m. !(our farm is 1250 M)But mostly I do see them above the 1600 Meters.

Then a couple of nice trips the last week.
A Dad with 3 kids... 6 8 and 12 yeard, they were great!
Dad is crazy of birds(biologist from origin) and my kind of birder...enjoys every bird he is watching.
And of course they did see a Quetzal flying by... the kids were happy and "the high fives" were flying around.
Great morning!

Today I did go with a Dutch couple...first time ever for them to go out bird watching, always fun .

Still the birds are hiding quit a bit, normal for the time of the year, still we did see nice ones and the weather was great...also when the clouds came in...
