release of four howler Howler Monkeys.. Liberación de cuatro monos aulla...

Hello ... Hans and I were allowed to witness the release of four Howler monkeys today. They were in a shelter after being rescued. (I'll come back to their stories) There they were lovingly cared for for months, without hardly having any contact with "human beings" and now it was really time to give them the beautiful freedom. (After first having informed the official government authorities and to obtain permission as to the day and place of the release.(miambiente)) It is now up to them to make the most of it!
Greetings Terry

Louisiana Water Thrush singing for me :)

Hello!!!this morning I was inside our house, heard a new song for me. I did hear a buff-rumped Warbler singing, of course I know this song...but he was mixed by a song what sounded as a Waterthrush... finally my wish came through..I was always hoping in all 24 years that we live here that one day I will hear that song live in front of me.... not on a video from a bird lover in the States or Canada. It happend this morning... a singing Louisiana Waterthrush live in front of me! He had a territorial issue with the buff-rumped Warbler and he was showing off :) Such a great time now, all those migrant birds visiting our farm in Boquete (Panama)

olivaceous Woodcreeper feeding their chicks

Hello readers....sooooo much trees around them , but this olivaceous Woodcreeper did make a choice for this concrete pole to have their nest. Male and female are doing the job together. And they have a leaf outside the nest, as a napkin ...to clean their bills...they did that both every time they came out the nest after feeding
