Mr. and Mrs. Flaming Sunbird (Balinsasayao)

[Bobby Kintanar]

A lifer for me, I captured both male and female of the species! It's now called by a different name though - I just can't recall it at the moment ...

Great composition sir Bob of both sexes. It's now Maroon-naped Sunbird (Aethopyga guimarasensis) split from Flaming Sunbird

[Bobby Kintanar]

Thank you for reminding me of the new name Godoski! Yes, it is now called by that name -- Maroon-naped Sunbird. :-)

Unbelievable detail on both, Ka Bobby!

I've been too busy lately with non-birding things, but your and Godo's recent images inspired me to go birding again in my backyard.

[Bobby Kintanar]

Thank you Ka Mastah! We always look forward to your unique captures and presentations, and I do hope you have time to go birding again. :-)
