Sorry for the late post - I blame the holidays for that -

. Anyway, Cynthia and I made a short trip to Baguio in mid-November of last year. Thanks to the help of local birder, Jocelyn Floresca-Alberto, we got three lifers - the Island Thrush, Red Crossbill, and a Turquoise Flycatcher - and also some local avifauna.

Sometimes it's not the size of your lens that matters, it's how you use it. ;-)

Love the detail, colors and poses, especially that of my nemesis bird - the Xbill.

Mastah Romy, Mt. Sto. Tomas is not that far from La Union. A morning sortie there would get you your nemesis bird.
