This moody image, with excellent technicals, of an endemic hornbill captured the day after Ondoy devastated many parts of Luzon perfectly represents the birdnut spirit - life will go on despite the challenges.
Congrats, Toto!

Wow ... thanks Ka mastah for selecting this shot of mine. It's an honor to be chosen as bird photo of the week. Hope you and all those affected by Ondoy are now gaining back their normal lives.

I would not dare to venture out knowing that a typhoon is in the area. Your instinct were right that there will be a lot of birds after the storm. You deserve the FBPOTW award for bravery and courage. But most of all for the beautiful capture of this bird with the raindrops on the background. Well done Toto. Mabuhay.
