Ashy-headed Babbler, Ashy-breasted Flycatcher, Luzon Scops Owl in OBI

Several of our pictures are featured in the Oriental Bird Club Images Database or OBI. The OBI is the online repository for images of birds photographed in the Oriental Region. Their database is probably one of the most complete when it comes to image resources for our feathered friends. Our contributions include: 1) Ashy-headed Babbler Trichastoma cinereiceps - This fairly common Palawan endemic prefers vines and tangles of forest and secondary growth. Though it is common, it is a challenge to photograph as it stays in the forest undergrowth.

This particular individual was photographed in Mt. Polis, Ifugao, during one of Birding Adventure Philippines sorties in the high-elevation forests of Luzon.

This picture is one of the very few photographs of the bird in wild. This individual was photographed in Mt. Makiling, Laguna, Philippines.
