Ashy-breasted Flycatcher is back!
[but now in HD]
The Ashy-breasted Flycatchers are back in the same spot from four years ago! (See the discovery back in 2008, here.)
This Ashy-breasted Flycatcher is a rare endemic that is confined to the islands of Luzon and Negros. Recent reports of this special bird come from very few localities such as Sawa/Hamut Camp in Northern Luzon, Twin Lakes in Dumaguete and the closest and most accessible, Mt. Makiling in Laguna, Luzon.
Like a lot of the Philippine endemics, this species is poorly-known with very little literature on species and breeding behavior.
