Nice clear shots! How close were you to the WEBDs?
In the 2nd photo, perhaps the WEBD is a messy eater and got his neck/breast feathers all wet.

I was standing almost directly underneath the feeding tree (ficus on photo 1 and manzanita on photo 2), around 12 and 14 feet up respectively. Hmm, kinda reminds me of my baby's eating habits...

To me it looks like it has started to take a bath but did not finished. If those are fruits of the Balete he must be eating them. You will have more opportunities to see this bird and other birds have their feast. Well done Neil & Mabuhay.

interesting second photo. The white ears look flared out, though perhaps that is because they are uncovered by the wet neck feathers

Hi Neil, Great shots. I'd like to ask permission if I can download the fruiting fig tree so I can have it identified. Can I post it in the plant group? I will give you the credits. telyds
