Thanks Krob78Krob78 said:Mr Bean said:Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo. As I arrived home this evening, 3 of them flew up to a nearby tree. I realised that it was 2 parents and a young one (the young one makes a constant calling sound). One of the parents had a cone from a Banksia tree (located in my front garden). They were stripping the cone for the seeds (much like a pine cone). This one, a parent, patiently sat in a tree, as I raced inside to collect the camera and tripod. 2min after this pic, they flew off to a neighbors Hakea bush to continue feeding

Philippine Duck (Anas luzonica) by alabang, on Flickr
Philippine Duck (Anas luzonica) is endemic to the Philippines, being recorded from all the major islands and eight smaller islands. Records since 1980 derive from c.30 localities, most on Luzon and Mindanao. Records from Siquijor and the Sulus remain unsubstantiated. A steep population decline was evident by the mid-1970s, with high numbers recorded at only a few sites in the following decade, e.g. Candaba Marsh (Luzon) which probably supported many thousands in the early 1980s. Subsequent local extinctions and near-disappearances have occurred in several significant sites, including Candaba Marsh and Buguey wetlands (where several thousand were recorded in 1983). Important current areas include Polillo Island (240 seen and an estimated 3,000 present in 1996), Subic Bay (600 seen in 1997), Magat dam (2,000 were seen in 2001) and Malasi lakes (1,320 were recorded in 2002), Luzon. Other recent records come from Mangatarem, Pangasinan (east of Zambales Mountains IBA) where 70 individuals were counted on the Barabac River inside the Manleluag Spring National Park, Cantilan mangroves in Surigao del Sur and from a mangrove fishpond in Bicol Region, Southern Luzon1. In 1993, its population was estimated at 10,000-100,000, but by 2002 fewer than 10,000 birds were thought to remain.

Thanks Click! Wish I would have had a longer lens on, at the time he popped into my frame! But as someone mentioned on an earlier post, sometimes it's nice to have a bit of environment with them in the frame...Click said:

Help please before I go crazy, anyone. Alberta, Canada late summer near Edmonton. I thought warbler but I've hunted front to back through The Warbler Guide and run into contradictions of one form or another - the yellowish patch, the brownish head, distinctive eye ring .....
