Mt. Makiling Revisited

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I got the longing to visit Mt. Makiling yesterday (March 29, 2006). Light was very good, but there were not a lot of birds around. The only shots I got were better pics of the Red-keeled Flowerpecker, and some interesting insects, an unconventional subject for the Sigmonster.
Red-keeled Flowerpecker (a Philippine endemic) Scientific name - Dicaeum australe australe Habitat - Canopy of forest, edge and flowering trees. [20D + Sigmonster (Sigma 300-800 DG)]

 MOLAWIN CREEK. I played around with the Sigmonster as a landscape lens by shooting this tiny waterfalls within the Makiling Botanical Garden. [20D + Sigmonster (Sigma 300-800 DG), using MLU]
