Subic's Racquet-tail and Rhabdornis

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

In this sortie to my favorite rainforest, I captured better pics of the now rare Green Racquet-tail and the skittish Stripe-headed Rhabdornis, both Philippine endemics which are rarely photographed in the wild. Detailed pics of the Black-naped Oriole and Blue-naped Parrot, as well as documentary photos of the Purple Needletail (a lifer!) completed this bountiful harvest.
