a birdlist of today and a new bird on the farm!!!! Scale crested Pygmy-Tyrant

Today I was standing next to our stream with my binoculars and I was standing there for almost an hour.
I wear a green T shirt and green trousers, I did look simular like a tree, I guess.
I saw a new farm bird...the scale crested Pygmy Tyrant, Had a very good look on him, very excited! Saw him a couple of weeks ago, but I was not sure. Saw him before at Buena vista(Panama, Chiriqui) , but never on our farm. He had one feather up!Of course I did not have my camera, but I did found a funny picture of him.

( p.s.you can buy this shirt at zazzle.com )
Birds all over, enough to make a bird list.
It's always a good spot, because of the water, dead wood, messy, next to the garden and different trees and flowers and it has a slope, so I can look in the forest.
Here is the list...

a couple of Summer Tanagers in love

I think these Summer Tanagers are really in "spring mode"
They were really in love and were flirting with eachother for a long time .

Now they are here....

As I told you in my former post, the weather is changing, sunny morning again, 2 dry days in a row.
The migration birds...they know that, big flocks are flying in the forest and this morning early I saw from my bed a couple of male Summer Tanagers. Heard them singing . They are busy to make a new territory.

So when the readers from the States want to have a little bit spring feeling....or come to Panama ha ha or just listen to my little movie. At the end you heard them singing.

Beautiful pictures of the Dutch excursion of 2th of October

I did receive some beautiful pictures of 2 October (look also at my post of 2th of October 2011)
The pictures were taken by Johan Stuart. He is an active member of the bird group Zuid Kennemerland.
