Boat-billed Herons and Collared Forest-Falcon at Metropolitan Nature Park, a report by Osvaldo Quintero and Rosabel Miró
La Garza Cucharón fue observada en el laguito del Parque Natural Metropolitano el domingo 29 de junio y el Forest Falcon hoy, domingo 6, llegando al mirador del parque, estaba cantando cuando él se lo encontró. Yo me encontré hoy también uno, adulto, en el Sendero de Los Momótides (muy bien cuidado ese sendero, por cierto). Hoy estaban 2 garzas cucharonas también en el laguito del Parque, esas garzas fueron vistas en la gira del primer domingo de mes, bastante escondidas en un árbol, nada como la observación que hizo el Dr. Quintero la semana pasada.
Birding Summit Ponds
Delicia, Pedro, Camio and Darién Montañez made a short visit to Summit Ponds and found a nest of Boat-billed Herons with a downy chick in it, on the fallen trees on the left pond. As an added bonus, a Bran-colored Flycatcher was heard, but not seen, singing from the shrubs to the right of the road about 100 meters before the ponds.
Birding Summit Ponds
The PAS fieldtrip to Summit Ponds had lots of interesting sightings. A large flock of migrating Swainson's Hawks included one dark-phase individual. A single Philadelphia Vireo was also seen feeding on an Indio Desnudo Tree. The highligt was the return of the Capped Herons: two were seen on the far shore of the pond on the right. The Boat-billed Herons were also there.
