Subic's Pompadour Green-Pigeons

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Slim pickings at my rainforest studio this first day of March 2006, a pity because light was good. Some Pompadour Green-Pigeons feeding high up a local fig tree provided some consolation.

Also in this sortie, I was able to try once more the slow shutter/MLU technique I successfully used before at the Indigo-banded Kingfisher. This time, the model is an endemic White-eared Brown-dove perched under the canopy in low-light, complicated with back-lighting.
