Thanks dpc. I like it and yet there is something about it that just doesn't quite do it for me. Wondering, what would make this more appealing??

Hey thanks, @Click and @candyman! I call this "Chatting Sea Birds". It's one of my personal favorites.

Black Skimmer preening on the beach, it would dip into the water and then work at cleaning up. These close-ups also show the unusual structure of the bill. It saw me in my kayak, but did not seem to care.

100-400mm

A very confiding common tern (once it had stopped attacking the people nearby). Barely cropped, 700mm (full size on my Flickr).

Thanks Click. Nice image rrdoh

Many may be surprised by this but this is my first owl, ever. So pardon the rather ugly image quality.


Philippine Scops Owl (Otus megalotis) by alabang, on Flickr

The Philippine scops owl (Otus megalotis) is a common owl, endemic to the Philippines, belonging to the family of the typical owls Strigidae. Everett's scops owl and Negros scops owls were formerly considered conspecific.

Philippine scops owls prey at night on insects. They live alone or in monogamous pairs. They breed throughout the year, laying clutches of 1-2 eggs. They nest in trees holes in lowland forests of Luzon, Catanduanes and Marinduque.
