Marvelous Sierra Madre

[tina mallari]

OH MY GOSH !!! <--- I think I raped those words already from too much use during this sortie ;D HeHEheHHEhehehe.

The Sierra Madre mountain is teeming with so MANY wonderful birds. So many sounds that you wouldn't know which direction to face anymore to look for the birds <--- of course you have to pray that you are blessed with wonderful weather and that you are lucky on the day/days that you will be birding there.

This birding area is such a delight but be warned: The road conditions are really BAD and it gets worst when you pass the Aurora Marker at the top of the mountain. Get ready to be tossed and shaken in your car ;D You will definitely need a good massage when you get back to Manila ;D ;D ;D

Very nice birds and nest. It should really be interesting to go there. Looking forward to see more of your birds. Well done. Mabuhay.

[Ed Matuod]

Wonderful set Tina! You are one of the chosen few...you are blessed.

[tina mallari]

Wow Tina, after ypour Palawan harvest, you have another Sierra Madre harvest. You're so very lucky.

Hope we can even a fraction of that luck when we visit Baler next month!

Congrats!

Marvelous captures, idol Tins!

[Lydia Robledo]

Huwaw! Your passion shows and you delightfully flaunt it with these fantastic captures. You make us LCD watchers swoon and rave and be moved to take action to protect the remnants of our beautiful forests. Take action... are you with me guys??? Bird photography is a very effective tool to make people know, appreciate and care for God's creation. There has to be a bigger audience for these beuatiful photos, not just in the forum. telyds
