Subic Rainforest - May 4 & 5, 2005

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

At last, I finally saw the very colorful Pompadour Green-Pigeon "in bird" (or in person if it were human). The shy pigeon only allowed me very long shots of over 70 meters, so I had to snap on the Tamron 1.4x to the Sigmonster (Sigma 300-800 DG) to pull the bird in a bit closer. Some Subic regulars complete the cast of this birding show.
