Already when I try to email people..I do see out of the office window a pair of yellow green Vireo's who are all the time angry. Really so angry that they attacked yesterday a rufous and white Wren, who has a nest in front of the window ( see blog http://terryboquetebirdstory.blogspot.com/2016/05/still-some-migration-birds-on-farm-1th.html ).
Together with a female angry thick billed Euphonia who has the nest on the other site.
The rufous and white Wren was on the ground and on the Wren was the Euphonia and two yellow green Vireos.
Wauw..The Wren survived and did return in the nest. The Euphonia's and yellow green Vireo's...they accept each other..also the couple of Blue gray Tanagers and a clay colored Thrush , who have a nest close by..they are o.k. with every one. They all stole also nest material from the nest of the rufous and white Wren.
On the other side of our house is a nest of yellow green Vireo's who are just doing their work and do not bother with the war on the other side...so peacefull.
These 2 immatures are 4 days old. The other nest only one immature, maybe that is the reason why the parents are more agressive.. this little one is almost ready to go:
Here you can see the situation of the "war zone", pink = clay colored Thrush nest, red = yellow green Vireo nest, blue = blue gray Tanager nest, green = rufous and white Wren nest, white = thick billed Euphonia nest

I did go and check, but well no Cerulean Warbler for me, but other migrants, still not too much on that day and the days after I must say , the slowest time ever according the migrant birds coming through.
We did have above Boquete huge amount of big groups of Hawks, comparing with former years I must say I never did see such huge groups in Boquete like that I /we experienced before.
And we did experienced a few times hunting migrant Hawks in our garden..such as broad winged Hawk, Swainson's .
So in that way it is totally different then the Warblers.
Maybe the shortage of rain and insects.
I could not see on other Panama area lists of other birders a big amount of migrant Warblers.
As I write this blog, the 12th of April 2016...I did see yesterday still the Ovenbirds "walking" in the forest and I do see and hear quit a bit of Swainson's Thrushes and some migrant Flycatchers. All around our water area, the river and creek and in various berry trees
I will keep my eyes open... this eastern Wood Pewee was singing..fortunately, so that was a easy ID:
So in the meantime I will enjoy the big amount of songs and activity of all "our"birds here, this is a very nice time to be in Boquete... Panama.
The list of this morning:
