Thanks Guys!
The bird is just steps away from the trail going to the cave entrance. Most visitors can easily find the bird or the guide will show them bird. Its just a short trip but its really nice when i saw the nesting frogmount.
Planning to go out next to Mt Timolan in Pagadian City for a short bird survey with friends. Hope we can get more Mindanao endemics this time.
Cheers,
Godo

I never thought I will see a bird looking like that. The name speaks for itself. I guess if you put feathers on a frog it would look something like that. Only God can make a bird look as good as that. Thank you Godo for sharing your beautiful picture with us. Mabuhay.

PS. You should visit Hely Asoy of the Paro-parung Bukid Nature Conservation Center in Babatnon, Leyte. The birds in her area needs to be surveyed. I am sure she will contact you soon. telyds

Thanks guys for viewing!
TeLyds were are planning to visit Leyte and Samar soon to look for the Miniature Tit-Babler and other Samar and Leyte endemics this year or early next year. Sir Bobby is also planning to go somewhere in Leyte this July for a short visit. We will also visit Mt Timolan (Sugarloaf Mt Timolan IBA) this week to look for some Mindanao endemics.
Will have more posting soon....
Cheers,
Godo
