Excellent capture, Ariel. You got the purple sheen of the gorget at the right time!

Hi Karl, if you can visit (or contact) a Philippine Embassy or Consulate there in Australia, ask if they have copies of the book "Birdwatching in the Philippines". There are 2 volumes of this book which was published by the Dept. of Tourism in cooperation with the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines. These books are not field guides, rather they provide information on birding places in the Philippines and the birds that can be seen in those areas. Visit the Wild Bird Club of the Phils. website www.birdwatch.ph/ and download their checklist. Based on the checklist you can then visit Xeno-Canto www.xeno-canto.org/asia/ where you can find bird songs/calls of Asian (including Philippine) species.

Lovely shots! You got the exposure right which I'm sure is quite difficult with its dark head.
I thought you were going to say, despite its name, it has small feet ;D (which it does).

Wow, Tina, you got my 100% interest here. ;D I hope I can get these birds too when I go there. The Avocet in flight is just awesome! Not really sure, but the Black-chinned could be another Anna's, a young male most likely. Let's wait for the expert's say on this.
