Mountain White-eye

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I returned to Mountain Province for a non-birding trip on June 3 and 4, 2006, and brought some birding gear just in case some montane winged creatures present themselves to be photographed. A brief birding-on-the-side added two photo-lifebirds to my list - Mountain White-Eye and Mountain Verditer-Flycatcher.

These captures have pushed my number of photo-lifebirds to 200 species...;-)
Mountain White-eye Scientific name - Zosterops montanus Habitat - All forest types above 1000 m. [20D + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 1.4x TC]

 HIGHLAND BIRDING. I'm waiting for montane birds at elevation 2155 meters (Bauko, Mountain Province) when my brother Jeff snapped this pic. My light birding combo is the 20D + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 1.4x TC, mounted on a Manfrotto 3421 gimbal head and 475B tripod. The black bonnet insulates my top spot against the cold mountain temperature, as my hair had divorced me about a decade ago....;-) [350D + Sigma 10-20, hand held]

 HIGHEST PHILIPPINE HIGHWAY. As the banged up sign says, this portion of the Halsema Highway at Atok, Benguet Province is the highest point (Elev. 2256 m/7400 feet) of the Philippine Highway System. This is where I stop and calibrate my altimeter. [350D + Sigma 10-20]
