Philippine Hawk Owl (Ninox philippensis)

The Photoblogger — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 07:00:59 +0000

Rescued again from some poachers, these Philippine Hawk Owls (Ninox philippensis) were also from Negros. Just like the Scops owl they were also mere babies or owlets.

Looking across the small quarantine room was the new addition to Crocolandia Foundation list of rescued animals: The Scops Owl. (Otus sp.) The undeniably cute creature is actually a resident from Negros Occidental so it wasn’t used to the environment in Cebu.

White Collared Kingfisher (Todiramphus chloris)

Last night I heard the helpers at home screeching my name. When ever someone calls me at home it’s only for three things. One is to take a picture, second is to fix the computer, and third is if there’s a wild bird in the house. Obviously it had to be the third one. This [...]

White Collared Kingfisher(I seriously need a teleconverter!!!)
