Thanks for sharing the habitat photos Don. Had my first encounter with the Indigo-banded Kingfisher in this place

Wow!! Thanks for checking the tibig tree!! I'm talking of another tibig tree which has smaller fruits and the fruit stems are long. They can also be found near the main road.
Nice slow shutter capture of the waterfall and the river. If you have a chance to visit the place again there is a resident Indigo Banded Kingfisher at the river, if there are no excursionist you might get lucky and see it.

Thank you sir Nilo and sir Neon. I will try to go back there again later. Is this the other tibig tree? I found it near the river. Its fruits are still unripe however.

don this tree is hagimit, Ficus minahasae, a relative of tibig and this too is a bird-magnet. in my experience I recorded 67 species of birds, 8 species of mammals and 2 species of snakes (probably lurking for the birds) in a single tree
