Philippine Leafbird

PHILIPPINE LEAFBIRD
Chloropsis flavipennis
Family Chloropseidae

Bird #291 - January 2011

This was very challenging to see and photograph! They are bright green but blend in very well with the foliage. They were usually high up in the upper branches of the tree. We would hear them, look for the movement in the trees, then train the cameras at them and hope that we were actually shooting a bird and not just a leaf!

It is an uncommon endemic, around 7 1/2" long. We have now seen the 2 species of Leafbirds that are found in the Philippines!
