Sharing with you my pictures of Birds presented in the 5th Philippine Bird Festival at the Governor's Night on October 9, 2009 in Balanga, Bataan.

First came an Oriole... I guessed it's a Black-Naped Oriole

Then a Nuthatch... I really don't know what kind however.

Third came an Egret. I'm sure it's a Cattle Egret.

Then, wow... a Queenfisher, ooops sorry, Kingfisher!

Another Egret came, a male one.

Finally a Man-Eater, este a Bee-Eater, in natural habitat!

Suddenly the Bee-Eater turned around and morphed into a Stilt!

Then all the other birds joined together, they volt-in! And whaaalah, it's a Black-Winged Stilt!

That's the Festival's bird logo, friends! What a scoop to get these photos!

All taken using Canon 50D 90-300mm handheld.

Can somebody start a Poll so we can vote for the Best Festival Bird?

They have those kinds of "birds" too in UP! Try birding there in-between your classes, Prof Jerry, Doc Mando and others will show you where to bird best.
