White-eye Photos of possible nest

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

I took these sequential series of photos at BK Valley, as my theory that the White-eye was getting the sticky white sap from a leaf (#4100) in preparation for adhering grass, ferns, twigs, etc., to build a nest in the area where I took the photos (Ramon's BKV view deck). The Citrine Canary-Flycatcher used the same gummy material as seen in the photo of the nest. Perhaps, an ornithologist can authenticate and verify my theory.

[Ramon Quisumbing]

That's certainly a plausible theory, Tito Poch. Nice photos.

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Thank you, Ramon. On our next trip to BKV, I will look in the general vicinity (in photo) of the forest view, and, hopefully, see a nest. And, hopefully too, it will be visible for you, gentlemen, with 800mm+ cameras.

KG: Yellowish White-eye - nest and eggs not described. More ground-breaking research coming up

[Mark Itol]

Beautiful photos and interesting documentation and observation.

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Thank you, Des. I hope I can be a minor information contributor to the ground-breaking research for the nest and eggs of the Yellowish White-eye. Thank you, Mark. And I hope to meet you all at BK Valley someday.

[Bob Kaufman]

Good observations, Tito Poch. Keep up the good work.

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Thank you, Bob, for the encouraging words.
