I have yet to see the Whiskered Treeswift. The mask is so beautifully designed. Well done Bob & Mabuhay.

Great haul, Bob. I especially like the action shot of the greedy female LHB.

Hi Bob,
This is another new endemic. Now Rufous-crowned Bee-eater (Merops americanus).

Nice series here. I hope to be able to take a picture of that hornbill when I go for vacation.

[Mark Jason Argallon]

very nice, kuya bob!

Great shots esp 2 & 3.
I'm staying not far from Subic in December (Castilijos ... not sure of the spelling) and am hoping to get my lens on some of the birds to be found there and in other places during my 3 week stay.
