I had this individual focused in my 300D's viewfinder a few minutes before this pic was taken. The bird was nearer in that shot, presenting me with a better angle. My shutter finger froze at the sight of this beautiful bird. Before I can regain my senses, the bird flew away. And I was left there in the Makiling undergrowth empty-handed, wanting to bang my head against a tree trunk.

Fortunately, the bird returned and allowed me this shot. I was able to sleep peacefully the night after returning from Mt. Makiling...8-)
