Lovely shots, Steve. The first photo is gorgeous showing the reason why it is called the "glossy" starling.

With a shot like this, you should buy the 100-400 already! ;D
Very nice capture, PropJerry!

Nice to have finally met you, Prof! These shots are awesome! Such vivid details!
The Oriental Cuckoo was a nice bonus as it is quite unusual in a habitat such as the Agripark.

The parrot indeed looks happy and certainly did pose for you, Ely! Wonderful shots all!

Hat's off to you, Nilo, for these shots. All excellent notwithstanding the adverse lighting conditions plus the skulking habits of the bird. Great job!

Lovely set, Adri! Interesting to see a woodpecker, especially a flameback, away from a tree. Great capture!

I was pleasantly surprised to find a female Violet Cuckoo at U.P. Diliman this morning. Too bad it was later chased away by a belligerent Brown Shrike. Canon 40D, 300mm+1.4x, ISO-500, 1/800, f10, handheld

It's always a thrill to capture these lovely endemics in flight. And you did capture them well, Doc Chito! I just noticed a sensor dust in photos 1 and 2 (can be easily cloned out )

All great shots, Ely! I see you also got the No-tailed Shrike which I saw early this month. ;D
Also your White-browed Crake looks more like a Buff-banded Rail to me.

Congrats, Nilo, on these captures!! You go to Candaba just once and got the White-shouldered Starling right off. I've been there several times and have yet to see them. (Include the Peregrine Falcon also in that statement). Excellent shots, Nilo!

A very auspicious start, Gabs. I love the color and mood of the photo. Just goes to show that even "common" birds can be very good subjects....it's all in the presentation. ;D
