BLACK-HEADED TAILORBIRD
<i>Orthotomus nigriceps</i>
Family Sylviidae

Bird #284 - PICOP, Bislig, Surigao del Sur
January 2011

I got a good view of this bird! We were trying to call this bird, and could see it moving around in the bushes in front of us, to our left. I turned to the right and was shocked to see one very close on a branch on our right side!

It is an uncommon Philippine endemic about 5" long. Too bad we didn't get a photo, it is only found in the eastern provicnes of Agusan, Surigao, and Davao. Very secretive and hard to see.
