Finally found the time to PP the bird shots I took during our Davao Vacation. Nothing new here (no lifers). Pretty much a matter of getting better shots the same birds. Still, getting to shoot birds while getting smashed on margaritas and martinis is a great treat.

Pied Triller

Asian Glossy Starlings

Philippine Bulbul

Coppersmith Barbet

Common Emerald Dove

Oriental Magpie-Robin

Asian Glossy Starlings (immature)

Pied Fantail (nesting)

This one's a treat to shoot. It was in a tree right in the middle of the beach resort we were in. The mom and pop fantails took turns sitting.

Black-naped Monarch

This monarch (together with the Cethosia butterfly I posted earlier for teLyds) were taken at the Malagos watershed forest. At the forest edge, I saw a male Rufous Paradise-Flycatcher. Unmistakeable! But it was very skittish. Tried stalking it but it was too quick. I will forever have nightmares about that one that got away.

I'd rather add life to my years than years to my life.

Good captures.

Thanks, everyone. But, somehow, these photos left me with an itch. Saw the Rufous Paradise Flycatcher and never got even a documentary shot of it.

But the Kennedy Guide says it responds to playback and I have a recording of its call. Can't wait to visit Davao again!

Hehe. You can send me the audio file, Ding. (kidding) ;D There's a good chance that I'll go to Malagos this weekend -- which is my last before returning to Manila.
