Wow, that's a lot for a first time poster, and a good number of interesting species. I wish there were also lots of butterflies in MF. We were there a couple of times about 7 years ago--- disappointingly no butterflies! I'm happy to see the predators. What part of MF ma'am? I have some butterfly photos I'll post elsewhere in the forum. ;D My boss is really keen on preserving the environment, especially the Mt. Kitanglad range. Part of my job is to document the wildlife present, hence I have a small collection of photos. ;D Neil

Can anyone help ID this for me? I've tried searching online, my closest "guess" is Monarch Flycatcher. Can somebody confirm this? TIA!

Mindanao Hornbill Shot in the area we're working on having declared a Wildlife Sanctuary. This was taken at around 4:25PM on an overcast day, just as I was heading back to camp after what seemed like a fruitless day of looking for the hornbills. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of yellow up on a tree across a ravine : and there was this hornbill just sitting there! ;D Canon 40D, Sigma 150-500, Kenko Pro 300 1.4 TC 1/40 s @ f/8, ISO 1600 Handheld

That beak sure looks deadly! Awesome and fearsome-looking at the same time.

"It would always be a delight to take a picture of a bird that is picture perfect but as much as we all want to do this, we cannot do it all the time. Rather than being frustrated, I comfort myself that it is better to have something than nothing. Because the next time an opportunity presents itself, the result of a better picture gives one a bigger satisfaction."As a newbie, I find this very encouraging sir.

Greetings from the South! I'm Neil, a photo enthusiast connected with an NGO involved in the rainforestation of Bukidnon's mountain ranges. My job requiresd me to be a jack-of-all-trades but happily it also involves a lot of photography! Lately I've been doing some wildlife documentation in a certain area we're working on having declared a protected area. I'm excited to learn from the masters of bird photography! Neil
