Grey-Faced Buzzard
GREY-FACED BUZZARD
Butastur indicus
Accipitridae Family
Length 430mm (17"), Wingspan 1020mm (40')
Migrant- Fairly Common
Bird #161 - May 2009
This bird is a migrant. We were in the car in the Sierra Madre mountains near Aurora when Tonji spotted a raptor-like bird flying. He saw the general area where it landed. We quickly got out of the car started scanning the trees. Then, we saw this bird perched at the top of a tree. Our first encounter did not produce a high quality photo. We both had 400mm lenses and this bird was way too far.
Eventually we saw this bird very nicely in Mt. Kitanglad in Bukidnon. It was flying lower and we were on a mountain so we had great views.
