We did lots of night and early morning birding. Here I used Sylvia to test the settings of my flash and beamer. Ack, too strong.

  • To get to Mt. Kitanglad we had to fly to Cagayan de Oro. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights on Mt. Kitanglad. No electricity. No internet. Just lots of birds!
  • We first rode a car to the airport. Then a plane to Cagayan de Oro. Got picked up by a van. Transferred to this tiny pick up truck. Then had two horses and some people help us carry our gear and provisions while we hiked to the lodge.
  • After the plane ride we took a van for three hours then this tiny pickup brought us further along the muddy trail.
  • The last of civilization we will see for the next few days.
  • On the road to the mountain. Now we hike.
  • We did lots of night and early morning birding. Here I used Sylvia to test the settings of my flash and beamer. Ack, too strong.
  • Early morning, Nicky is set up to record the Bukidnon Woodcock.
  • Its no hotel. But I was asleep in less than a minute every night. Its super cold. We sleep at 9:00pm and wake up at 4:00am
  • Early morning ready for any owls that wanna show up.
  • Sunrise over Kitanglad.
  • Nicky, the best guide in the Philippines. Last year we were lucky enough to have been guided by the late Tim Fisher. This year we again had another superstar guide in Nicky Icarangal.
  • We were looking for the parrotfinch in this area.
  • Lodge in the afternoon, just before the showers start.
  • One day it got foggy after lunch. No more birding. Just hung out till the fog cleared.
  • Can't take any birds when the fog gets this thick. But after it cleared lots of bird waves came.
  • This is on the grounds of the lodge. Montane carabao.
  • I think she is Danny's kid. Nice smile.
  • Last day. Treking back down. Note the boots. Shoes are just useless here.
  • Writing in the logbook.
  • The trails here are clay so they are slippery.
