I love seeing all of the other species from other parts of the world - I've never seen one of these or many of the other birds you guys on the other side of the world are posting. Keep up the great work!Synkka said:Ripper shots, I really love the Kea Menace. Dolina yet another great shot!

Agreed! We have lots of Cormorants but I've not seen one like this before! The majority of ours are like these little fellas...

Nice! Love how the water has that sort of dreamy look.
Really an excellent image! A "must love" image!

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Sunbird
Location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Ba%C3%B1os,_Laguna
Settings: 1/250 ƒ/5.6 ISO 320 800mm
====================
Why this awkward pose?
In the first 100 exposure of this bird I have so far, this is the best image to show off the sunbird's colorful throat.
Why did you go birding on a workday?
I went birding on a workday so I could bring my cousin's kids (aged 5 to 17) to a forested area near their sister's home (30km away) as a respite from Category 5 Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. You see these kids are survivors of the said Super Typhoon. Though their homes in Tacloban City just experienced very minor typhoon damage their schools were completely destroyed and many of their friends, classmates and neighbors are among the more than 5,800 dead and more than 1,700 missing.
How can you (yes YOU) can help?
Go to your nearest Red Cross or directly to http://www.redcross.org.ph/donate and donate. Any amount is help.

Thanks I love seeing all the other birds of the world and there are so many inspirational shots here, love those two cormorants too. I am close to the river but probably 30km plus from the ocean so I am not sure why they come to roost to this one area. But the park is full of birds I would normally associate with the ocean. The nice thing is when they get ready to roost you can get quite close.

So far we have seen 4 snowy owls out here. There is a report of one on Bermuda !
PS. I think that photo is of a young female.

Thanks and I love your shot, too! Cardinals (or redbirds as they call them here in the South) are common, but so photogenic! I just wish we got snow here in Florida - I've seen some amazing cardinal shots with snow and berries.Vern said:
