Waiting For Mixed Flocks

Waiting for the Mixed Flocks


ElyT patiently waiting for the mixed flock to arrive at the Malapapaya (Bungliw) tree. Photo taken from the BK Valley Lodge roof-deck, another good spot to "shoot" the birds, especially with 800-mm+ cameras.


This Brown Shrike was just above Ramon's view deck, swooping to pick up insects strewn around the view deck, from the previous night.




I took this photo without a tripod, because we were ready to leave BK Valley, when someone alerted us on the Plain Bush-Hen on the pathway. I "fired" away rapidly.

BTW, all photos above were cropped, except ElyT's,which was down-sized.

You kept yourself busy too while Ramon & I were excitedly taking the pictures of the Plain Bush Hen. Did you noticed how wide the mouth opens to take a big bite of the banana. Normally birds would take a small beak full to have more leverage. This one was hungry and eating voraciously so much so the banana rolled down and out of sight. Well done Tito Poch and Mabuhay.

Thank you, Ely. I hope to see you again at BK Valley. I would like to pick up more tips on AdobePhotoShop. Also, I'd like to try the banana-way (as you taught us) to lure the White-breasted Waterhen near Dion's fishponds at BK Valley.

Okay, let me know what you want to know. I hope you will succeed in luring the White-breasted Waterhen to eat the banana. If they eat like the Plain Bushhen than you are in luck to get a close shot of the WBWH. I have posted the pictures taken in BK.
