Wild Birds of the Philippines
There are about 614 species of Philippine birds, and 194 of these are endemic to our islands. Over 10% of these species are globally threatened.

By imaging these magnificent winged creatures in their natural habitat and sharing the pictures and footages through the web, we hope that in our own little way we can help raise awareness for the protection of their habitat.

We wish that the children of our children will still be able to behold their beauty long after our generation is gone.

Sometimes, the Rule of Thirds just doesn't cut it:

So, sometimes, we have to break it - or bend it a little:

My wife took those shots using the 5DMk2 and the Sigma 150-500 mm Zoom. Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500); Aperture: f/9.5
Focal Length: 439 mm; ISO Speed: 1600; Exposure Bias: +2 EV
