magenta throated Woodstar female in the house...

24th of December 2019

Merry Christmas everybody!
this afternoon a  female magenta throated Woodstar flew into our house... fortunately I could catch her and my camera was very close by...very quick a picture...it's not every day that you have such a small beautiful Hummingbird  in your hands...
I gave her some sugar water from one of the feeders and she did drunk it ...
She did remind me that I have to get rid of some spiderwebs  in our house... I did clean her a bit and there she "zoomed " into the forest... she will be fine! and will make baby's...lot's of males in the farm.
Greetings from a relieved Terry

Ransuil boom 16 11 19 long eared Owl the Netherlands

Hello everybody, another story, this time from the Netherlands(Holland). Hans and I decided to go in the autumn to Holland, in November. That was a long time ago and yes we do remember now again what "water cold" means...
A lot of people around us who did have a cold and so we received the cold virus also, bummer!
Next time our visits will be in somewhat warmer times in Holland and also when the days are longer, that is what we did miss the most. I am mostly awake around 6ish am and so that happens in Holland too, and now I had to wait to go outside  until it was daylight...around 9am.
It was great to see Redwings that was a long time ago and also big groups of  Goldcrests and of course Fieldfares, so happy to hear their calls!!!

But as you see above ..my movie of the "bird" highlight of the trip was in the north of Holland 2 trees full with long eared Owls (Ransuil in Dutch), they roost together in groups during the day in the Autumn and winter. I did see this before in the center of Holland, nearby where we did live before Panama. Then there were "only" 8 Owls together.
This time in just a little village in the north of Holland in an area with houses, two trees were filled with 12 long eared Owls. I can tell you, I got tears in my eyes. Also very special that I was with Hans and our good friends. So it was nice to share this moment with them.



So exciting!

Also very nice to see the common Buzzard in his white feathers, that was also a long time ago ...totally different bird then when you see them in the spring...

More and more rose-ringed Parakeets to see in Holland:

For my lists and other bird pictures, you can check them out on E-bird.
We were in Holland  from 6th of November to the 18th of November 2019.
A few days we were also in Germany, mainly  in Wetzlar , Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. Also to let my  Binoculars repaired with succes!
This was Germany in Autumn colors...: 

This was Holland in the autumn colors:




Those cold beautiful autumn days were fantastic! It was a good vacation, despite the sneezing and coughing ... Greetings from warm..sunny Boquete😉
