Wish we can find sponsors and set up an expedition to photograph the King of the Philippine Rainforest in the near future.

Thanks for the link Master Romy. So these are the photos of the hide we were talking about last year in the yahoo groups. Our contacts haven't inform me of any PE nest sightings in Luzon. I'm still hoping that they'll find one soon. Here's a "pang"(for) NG photo..he he he..unfortunately it's a captive bird.

that's my dream photo shoot - to be able to capture these wonderful aerial acrobats in their natural environment. i can just imagine the mosquito bites, humidity and fatigue that Klause experienced while being on top of gigantic trees
