This is what one may call the ugly duckling lowland white-eye. This was taken under harsh lighting, very late in the morning; it was very hot and humid. Good thing Ely was there with his biscuits and canned drinks. Thanks, Ely! Canon 450D, 100-400mm 4.5-5.6L, F8, 1/320 sec., ISO400, Manual, Velbon Tripod  |

Looks like a nestling waiting for "mama bird" to prepare breakfast... Tito Poch.

I missed that one. I am going to process my pictures and post them. This is one time that I went home not feeling I have to go back. But I will go back and see what other birds will to to the Bignay Pugo. This bird may be an ungly duckling now but when he matures it is going to be a beautiful endemic. Cheers & Mabuhay.

unkempt feathers, round body, bulging eyes... ugly birdy indeed... am sure it would become one pretty, tiny white eye.

This is probably a three to four-week-old fledgling. Yey! Very happy to see you post again. |
