Great job with the flash! My photos of this bird without flash are not as pleasing.
Thanks for showing us around yesterday. I think it was so hot I was getting disoriented, hehe. I think I got super dehydrated.

Thanks guys, I have only been birding in Alabang lately since the heat has been unbearable. I hope to go on a few birding trips soon. Gotta get back on the road!
Ronnie, yup we have seen more than 55 and photographed 52. I think we will end up with more than 60 with a little luck.

Great last pics on the D300 Martin. I guess if you sell your lens also you can now switch to Canon.

Coron. Cool photo of the Ruddy KF. Its was not cool in the Coron birding areas when we were there last November. I can imagine it was much warmer with this El Nino heat wave. I would guess it took some effort to get these shots. Good job!

Its super hot this summer. I have not had the urge to go out of town for a birding trip because of the punishing heat. Instead I have been going around our village trying to improve my pictures of birds found in our village. Its so hard to have nice pics of all the species. Its going to take a while. Sylvia and I are already up to 52 species photographed in our village. I even saw a Chinese Pond Heron in breeding plumage last month. I was only able to take docu shots arrghhh, good enough for ID but not nice enough to print. We printed some of our Alabang bird pics and they were shown in our Village General Assembly. We donated them to the village and I think they are on display in the office. Its nice that our village is a bird sanctuary and that the residents appreciate the birds. Sylvia writes in the village paper every week about bird topics. I think it raises awareness and hopefully it will make our village even more bird friendly. This particular bird is on our street. I first saw it on April 12. It had a nest and probably had eggs already. Over the past few weeks I have been checking up on this bird. What dedication it takes to sit on a nest. The heat is unbearable but there was nothing but constant care. Finally two days ago I saw a chick moving in the nest. Cool. A little more freedom for the caregiver. I like to think of this pic as the triumphant caregiver. Basking in her great achievement.

This is a great shot of the LWE. Its a challenge to shoot this constantly moving bird. Good job.

What fantastic detail on this Oriental Cuckoo. I have only seen and photographed the male. The female is quite different. Very nice. The detail on the eye is amazing.

Nice capture of the SCFP! I saw this bird near the golf course in Puerto Galera. But I was not able to get a decent photo. This capture is superb.

Great shots here Ely. Too bad the bird was killed by a brown shrike. Its the way of the world.
