Really great shots! The first one is to die for!

[Luis (Chito) Limchiu]

Thanks a lot Bob! But please don't! I am willing to take you there myself to make sure your safe.

Great captures Doc Chito! Now I know why UPD did not suffer the faith of other reported places here in Luzon where multitudes of army worms attacked the crops, there are not much birds in that area.

I like all the pictures and the third one is my favorite perhaps because of the colorful worm that went with it. Spectacular captures. Well done Chito. Mabuhay.

Very nice series DOc, the first one is the best for me with the unusual pose and beautiful tail spread.

Great shots of the Cuckoo, Doc Chito! The first one tops them all with its spread tail and wing!
