Photos and videos of wild birds found in the Philippines. We travel all over the Philippines to document and take pictures of birds. Our goal is to make this site a resource of information and images about wild birds of the Philippines.

Birds we have seen but not photographed

This is the list of birds we have seen but have not been able to photograph .. yet! We are currently at 509 birds seen and 495 photographed. We hope this list becomes an empty gallery one day!

WHITE-BROWED SHORTWING
<i>Brachypteryx montana</i>
Turdidae Family

L 124 to 140 mm (5 to 5 1/2")
resident, common

Bird # 411 - April 2013

Mt. Kitanglad, Mindanao

This is a photo of the Kitanglad group. This was another great trip with Nicky Icarangal of Birding Adventures Philippines. Four of us in the group are in the Big Year contest of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines.

Tonji and I had great views of this bird. Three of them hopped out in the open to the left of where we were facing, then quickly went back into the tangles before we could get a shot!

We have seen this bird in Mt. Kitanglad, Mt. Apo, Compostela Valley, Negros, and in the Mountain Province. We only need to see one more race. It is a common bird so hopefully it gets out of this gallery at some point.
