White-browed Shama ( Copsychus luzoniensis, a Philippine endemic) Photographed by Tina Mallari at Bongabon-Baler Highway, Nueva Ecija, May 2, 2009 40D + 400mm 5.6 ; 1/100 ; ISO 1000 ; f/5.6 ; hand held "This last photo may not be a picture perfect photo but this is one of the very few times wherein I had to almost crawl on the ground, go through bushes, lean on rocks, put up with all the insects and thorny twigs under the heat of the sun pa. I am extremely happy with this picture because to those of you who have tried taking a picture of this bird, I'm sure you know how hard it is to get even a decent photo of it." - Tina M.

Congrats to Plain Idol for bagging this tough to see and photograph Philippine endemic, in lighting where its colors are displayed well!
