My Online Journal of Adventures and Misadventures. December 10, 2016. December 10, 2016. Sat with his tribe in the makeshift tent under a tree. The men sat around the small matted area while the women quietly threaded beads to make colorful bracelets and necklaces. Our small group gingerly entered their space and we began to listen. Datu Tungig (center) of the Manobos sat with his tribe. I was in the middle of the. Lakbayan ng Pambansang Minorya para sa Sariling Pagpapasya at Makatarungang Kapayapaan.

maiabird's brain: Rusty Birder

http://maiabird.blogspot.com/2015/07/rusty-birder.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. I had to go to work on the day of the Metro Manila Shake Drill and as I didn't want to be caught in possible traffic and be late (I hate being late! I decided to go to work before the 10:30am city-wide earthquake drill and also sneak in an hour of birding in the UP Diliman campus. I walked towards the small row of ficus trees and I was right! Dark red berries dotted two of the three trees in front of me. A Black-naped Oriole. Was there busy feeding on the ripe fruit. I sat on the s...

maiabird's brain: August 2014

http://maiabird.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 28, 2014. A Different Candaba Experience. Even if it was still a bit early in the migration season, Jops and I headed to Candaba, Pampanga last Sunday to check out the waders that have already arrived. We were joined by Juan. And we were soon scoping out the first group of waders we spotted along the concrete road. We brake for waders! We saw Black-winged Stilts. Out came the field guides! Thank you again, Jun for the Shorebirds field guide! The lone all-black bird was flying high above ...

maiabird's brain: March 2014

http://maiabird.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 27, 2014. Being a birdwatcher, I have gotten used to paying attention to details. Often, I am awed at the amount of details on a bird: its color, its spots, its barring. I've also learned to pay closer attention to the not-so-obvious details: its eyebrow, its eye ring, its wing bar. All this I have come to appreciate when birding. Different birds with different details: colors, spots, barring! I went with fellow birders Anna, Manny, Trinket. Our dining room for that weekend =). Was overwh...

TWO BIRDERS TO GO: April 2015

http://ornithographer.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 16, 2015. Hong Kong Birding, Day 2 - Choi's Birding Spots. Our friend and local birder, Allwatin Choi, picked us up from our hotel to take us around some choice birding spots. Our first stop was at the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden. Our target bird was the Yellow-cheeked Tit, an uncommon bird in Hong Kong. A bunch of guys waiting to see a pair of tits. On the way down, I mentioned to our friend that one of the birds we'd like to see is the Fork-tailed Sunbird - arguably the only sunbir...

TWO BIRDERS TO GO: Come Fourth and Joy

http://ornithographer.blogspot.com/2015/08/come-fourth-and-joy.html

Friday, August 07, 2015. Come Fourth and Joy. I got a text message from my friend, Bong, asking me if I wanted to join him at La Mesa Ecopark Thursday morning. I consulted my wife and she readily gave me the go signal. I texted Bong back and told him I would be there. Thursday morning, I woke up a little after 4 am. A few minutes later, my wife opened her eyes and saw me staring blankly in the darkness of our room. "Are you going to Ecopark? A little after 10:30 I got a text message from my wife asking m...
