White Bellied Woodpecker
WHITE BELLIED WOODPECKER
Dryocopus javensis
Picidae Family
Bird #130 - March 2009
This is a resident bird in the Philippines. The first time we saw this bird was in Subic, when Franco, our reluctant and half-asleep bird watcher spotted this. Oh, the vigor of youthful eyesight!
We took very poor pictures of that bird. The next time we saw this bird was in Sagada. It was a delightful surprise because we were not expecting to see it there at all. We were in front of our hotel, Rock Inn, when we heard very loud bird calls and saw a pair of White Bellied Woodpeckers fly to a big pine tree. They stayed there for a few minutes.
