Mt. Makiling - Part X

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Thanks, James. I thought it is an Artctic Warbler too but waited for another confirmation, in addition to Steve's.

Hi Romy,
Not sure if you intentionally left it blank but 2186 is an Arctic Warbler.
I am really interested in this Pitta - esp your comments on the size.
Also congrats on the LBHeart...thats a pretty good pic considering how they behave!
