Second Masinloc Lifer

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

This birding day (July 27th) was cut short by heavy rains, but sweetened by my second lifer in this scenic place. It was the first time I'm able to get a quail, a bird I always see but have no luck capturing.

Not a bird pic, but this image of the Philippines' most popular off-roader is too quaint not to post. The hand tractor is designed to plow the fields, but Filipino ingenuity has transformed it into a mean off-road vehicle by attaching a trailer. I wouldn't dare to go through that water with my city-bred 4x4 ...;-)
