Very nice documentation, Tateo, and excellent captures of this beautiful bird! You captured it in wonderful pose!

[Ely Teehankee]

It seems normal for both the male and female Sunbirds to be feeding their hatchlings. Thank you for sharing your nice pictures. Well done Tateo. Mabuhay.

Amazing documentation work on this very colorful sunbird, Tateo-san! I haven't seen yet photos of its nest and nestlings taken locally.

Very nice documentation, Tateo-san. So that is how a Crimson Sunbird's nest look like.

Awesome documentation of the chicks and the parents feeding them. The sixth photo is to die for! Congratulations!

I remember this day Tateo Sang ... Ha ha ha ha. Great shot !

[Tonji Ramos]

Tateo, this is an excellent set. Informative as well as beautiful. I enjoyed it.

Good shots! I think I will download the two back shots and stick them in my DB. Over the years my choice of shots has gradually become increasingly concentrated on shots showing features that show the morphological distinguishers. Good comparative photos for the two sexes, in particular of the flight feathers, tail coverts, and the color of the rectrices (tail feathers).

[Ariel Matias]

Beautiful captures! Well done!
