PHILIPPINE TROGON
Harpactes ardens
Trogonidae Family
Bird #146 - April 2009
This is a Philippine endemic. The first time we saw this bird was in the forest trail of Mt. Makiling in Los Baños. It was clinging to a tree trunk and its back looked bright red! We were not able to get pictures that first time. It became one of our target birds. We went back in May 2009 and got a few pictures. We have seen this bird in other places since then such as Mt. Palay Palay and the Northern Sierra Madre.
