Lepidogrammus cumingi
Cuculidae Family
Bird #145 - April 2009
This is a fairly common Philippine endemic. We were very happy that we got to see this bird several times the Forest Trail of Mt. Makiling. It's a fairly big bird and has very distinctive markings. We saw it again in May in Sierra Madre, Nueva Ecija. It is a very pretty bird but it was hiding in the shadows or against the light making it tough to photograph. Hopefully we will get a more detailed picture in the future.
