Your pics really great! You spent so much of your time, efforts and money just to give us pictures of philippine birds we could not see in our lifetime. May your tribe increase. could you please add the common /r local name? thanks

Very good work! In behalf of my ancestors, I thank you. And I will make sure that my descendants learn of your work, too. Because in time, they will be the beneficiary of what you are doing now.

Mr. Ocon, You've been my hero eversince meeting you. Your work goes beyond photography. They are work of art and also a historical archiving of the world's best looking birds. You should win a Nobel Peace Prize for your passion and your contribution to the world.

Thanks Romy, you know your birds and your photos are works of art. Last week my son Noel took me to see the birds of the South Reclamation Project of Cebu City for the waders and later at San Carlos Heights in Cebu for the grass birds. It was a memorable experience and seeing some of those birds again in your gallery helped to burn in my mind those momentary glimpses of beauty.

Good Day sir!! I would just like to express my amazement and gratitude to a wonderfull collection you posses. I'm studying birds and your pictures are a real help. I would just like to ask if the collared kingfisher is Halcyon chloris. or the two sci. names are the same. Salamat ng umaaapaw!!!
