Dion Pullan, owner of BK Valley and protector of Mt. Banahaw's forests, just sent me this photo taken with a camera phone earlier today. Sorry for the poor quality, but it documents an incredible flock of at least 9 Tarictic Hornbills in a tree near the restaurant. Bird heaven!  |

It is Heaven on Earth. The camera I recommended to Dion has not come in yet. I will let him know once it becomes available so he will be ready for moments like this. A bird photographers dream come true. Cheers and Mabuhay to Dion & BK.

Wow! And with a camera phone, they should be very near. Those could be full frame shots for each Tarictic.
