Fire-Breasted Flowerpecker
FIRE-BREASTED FLOWERPECKER
Dicaeum ignipectus
Family Dicaeidae
Bird #113 - January 2009
We first saw this bird in Mt. Kitanglad, Bukidnon.
This bird is an uncommon resident and is found above 1000 meters. It is small, about 3 1/2 inches.
We photographed this bird when we went to Sagada in January 2010. It was in a tree in front of the hotel we were staying in, The Rock Inn. We were looking at the Little Pied Flycatcher when we spotted a bird with a red throat. At first we thought it might be the rarely photographed Siberian Rubythroat which we had just photographed a few weeks before. That seemed very unlikely however. Thankfully, the bird returned to the same area and perched in a branch out in the open and we saw that it was a flowerpecker
