PICOP, Bislig 2011

[Adri Constantino]

Our group checked out PICOP, Bislig last April and was rewarded with good weather and good birds. Though the forest is still in grave danger due to illegal settlers and illegal loggers, PICOP still holds loads of amazing birds. In one area, we were able to spot 4 kinds of cuckoos, several kinds of raptors, and on our last afternoon we were rewarded with 53 writhed hornbills flying overhead.

Go now before it is too late.

Pardon the IQ as most of them were taken in ISO 1600.

Thanks for looking!

Nice shots of a difficult tailorbird! I guess the OBFP is immature, but it looks very distinctive anyway.

Woohoo! great harvest, Adri! This place is number 1 on my list of must see birding areas. Hope to find sometime to visit this area. Hopefully the LGU's will open their eyes and put a stop to the wanton destruction. It is when the forests are gone when more people get hungry.
