Considering that Coron was severely hit by Yolanda, it looks like the birds have returned. I think the third bird is similar to the Handsome Sunbird but it is actually a Lovely Sunbird. You have a nice collection of birds on this trip. Well done William & Mabuhay.

Awesome shots, Doc! Couple of things though: it is Brown-throated Sunbird (split from Plain-throated) and it is Lovely Sunbird instead if Handsome (another split).

Thanks Ely and Bob. I am not really good at bird identification, I will make the necessary corrections.

Very nice set Doc! Looks like you had good photography weather! Thanks Sylvia. The light was perfect for photography but it was too hot and humid. I was able to take photos from 6:30 - 10:00 AM and 3-5 pm only.

Wow! Wonderful collection of Capayas denizens, Doc William! I went there the week after and did not get any Blue-Headed Racquet-Tails because the cashew fruits on the trees had been eaten by then.

Thanks, Ramon. I was lucky, there were still fruits of the cashew tree. There were a lot of birds in that tree when I was there.
