I salute you, Mark, for doing the right thing in convincing the guard to release this lovely bird!
The photo is excellent!

Great shot of the Avocets, Bong. A small suggestion..maybe you could crop out the ducks in the background (upper right corner)?

Perfect exposure...not blowing out the whites inspite of the dark areas. Good job!

Very nice captures, Ely! You're so lucky to get the Red Junglefowl.
How do you like your new lens?

Hi Guys, Here they are. 1. Coereba flaveola bananivora – adult 2. Butorides virescens maculata – adult 3. Anthracothorax dominicus – from what I can see of the coloration of the throat and the head markings – surely a male, probably subadult. 4. Horrible angle. Much is hidden. By exclusion from other possibly ranging hummingbirds on what can be see of the gross morphology, this is most likely a female of the above species. 5. Lonchura punctulata – adult 6. Amazona ventralis – adults 7. Bubulcus ibis ibis 8. Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli – adult 9. Egretta tricolor – adult 10. Gallinula chloropus cerceris – immature 11. Mimus polyglottos orpheus – adult 12. Anthracothorax dominicus – male 13. Ardea alba egretta – adult 14. Crotophaga ani – subadult 15. Falco sparverius dominicensis – adult male 16. Saurothera longirostris longirostris – adult 17. Dulus dominicus – immature 18. Melanerpes striatus – adult female May I add the English Names? (Ref: Birds of the World English Names by Gill and Wright, Princeton Univ Press, 2006) 1. Bananaquit 2. Green Heron 3. Antillean Mango 4. same as above 5. Scale-breasted Munia 6. Hispaniolan Amazon 7. Cattle Egret 8. Black-crowned Night Heron 9. Tri-colored Heron 10. Common Moorhen 11. Northern Mockingbird 12. Antillean Mango 13. Great Egret 14. Smooth-billed Ani 15. American Kestrel 16. Hispaniolan Lizard Cuckoo 17. Palmchat 18. Hispaniolan Woodpecker

Hi Bob, Why isn't this a Cassin's? It is indeed a Cassin's - I looked at my other photos and just now noticed the pale tail tip. Thanks, Steve, for the correction.

Great captures, Bong! I like the first one with the wings raised up.
And yes, it is a Mourning Dove.

Both photos were taken yesterday during my sortie at Bonelli Park. It is interesting that both birds captured the bee at the "end" part where the sting is and not at the head. Black Phoebe 5D2, 500mm+1.4x, ISO-320, 1/200, f5.6, tripod+gimbal head Cassin's Kingbird 4D2, 500mm+1.4x, ISO-320, 1/500, f7.1, tripod+gimbal head

Fabulous lovely series, Bob! Am sure lady luck was smiling with you on that day and gave you a nice opportunity to take those shots or maybe its her way of welcoming you back. You miss the Philippines already, right? LOL. How was it? Ed, check out my blogs at Multiply or at Blogspot (see links below) for an account of my birding in the Phils.
