6 to 7?
Is there a way to beat the odds in getting a clearer shot?
Would a higher speed camera, i suppose, get you that?

I have to admit that this bird is one of my favorites. For me, it's one of the most beautiful.
By the way, how far were you when you took these first 3 photos?

What's more impressive is that such a not so well-known resort is home to a number of amazing birds. I believe there's more to find out there. That surely adds to the attractiveness of Villa Escudero. They should include birdwatching in their promotions. Im pretty sure it shall be one of my destinations, when i get the opportunity.

That is Villa Aurora National Park, . It's Aurora Memorial National Park. This is where President Manuel Quezon's wife was killed in an ambush. A very simple monument was erected along the road that cuts through the park. www.aurora.ph/towns.html

I've been to Baler several times as well. We had a branch there (telco). I've noticed a lot of interesting birds there. My avatar is proof of my visit there. The best place then was a river that cuts the road leading to Baler when you're coming from the Nueva Ecija side. A busy community encircling the bridge thrived then. I said "then" because the place is now gone. Do you remember the giant flashflood that literally washed away a baranggay in Aurora some years back? That's it. There was also a DENR office there right near the bridge. All you'll see now are rocks covering the whole stretch of the river bed in both sides. Even i couldnt believe what I saw. I just couldnt imagine how a busy and thriving barrangay disappeared just like that. By the way, i remember seeing a Coucal in Baler. It was the first time I ever saw such a mysterious-looking bird. And i only found out what its name is here in this forum. I saw more but now I couldnt remember exactly how they looked. I remembered the Coucal much because it was my first sighting of that mysterious-looking bird. It looks more like this one below; photo by CS Mallari

A great shot ..... that only an expert like Romy can make. This shot gave this often ignored bird the needed focus.
