Hello everyone,

Finally I was able to process some bird photos taken at the former PICOP concession forest in Bislig, Surigao. It was a tough bird photo assignment with our daily dose of rain and severely overcast/dark skies. However, the warm company of fellow birdnuts (Alain P., Rey S.A., Doc Chito L., Tonji R. and Sylvia R.) certainly made up for the limited birding opportunity in the field.

Many thanks to Vice Mayor Conrad Cejoco and the City of Bislig for making this trip possible.

Below are some birds seen and photographed in this trip. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks for the comments guys. Other birdnuts in this trip have fabulous captures as well. Tonji and Sylvia, I hope the weather will cooperate next time

Here are some scene and people snaps taken during the trip.

Taking a break from the wet birding day...

The dynamic duo Tonji R. and Sylvia R. keeping an eye on the distant perchers under the morning rain.

VM Conrad C. birding under the rain...

The group (Alain, Tonji, Doc Chito, Sylvia and VM Conrad) checking the river bank. I think Rey was preparing his landscape rig when I took this photo.

The growing swell of Tinuy-an Falls..

The trunk of the Innova provides temporary shelter for Doc Chito and Tonji hoping for the rains to stop while waiting for our trip back to Butuan.
