Location: Bacolod, Philippines ("Don's Secret Bird Spot")
The White-browed Crake (Porzana cinerea) is a species of bird in the Rallidae family. It occurs in Southeast Asia and Australia.
I'm effectively watching a narrow strip of land in Bacolod (about 20 ft by 3 ft) that's yielded so far 6 species in a 4 hour period. Hence, my "secret" little birding spot.

A yellow-browed warbler (Phylloscopus inornatus) caught and ringed at Druridge Links, Northumberland. This stunning migrant from the east are now seen annually at Druridge Links and we catch one or two most years. They are now more commonly seen than species like lesser whitethroat, garden warbler and redstart.
I believe this guy to be a "Red-browed Firetail?Finch" going by a bird book, I wanted to give the Flickr automated bird ID system a break :-)
Shot him at home in the scrub, they where darting about the scrub really quick so I did not get much of a chance to take each shot but when they where feeding they were still for just long enough to get a couple shots.
Turquoise-browed Motmot - Eumomota superciliosa - Синебровый момот
Mexico, Yucatan, Chichen Itza, 02/20/2013
The Manipur Brow-antlered Deer is a rare and critically endangered species of deer. It is locally known as Sangai in Manipuri. Other names include Thamin deer and Dancing deer. It is found in its last existing natural habitat at the Kaibul Lamjao National Park in Loktak Lake in Manipur. A captive breeding programme is underway at the Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata. The zoo has already successfully bred Jaguars, Giraffes and the rare spoonbill stork.
A tiny rainforest bird, usually seen among the leaf litter on the forest floor. This one had ventured out, into the open bird feeding area at O'Reily's. Only about 4" to 5" long.

Turquoise-browed Motmot seen near Puerto Morelos, Mexico. From the rich palate of colors of its plumage to that really unusual pair of tail feathers, this is one of those birds that stops you in your tracks when you see it. So what’s with those two long tail feathers and why the peculiar wagging motion? It turns out that they use them to signal a predator that it's been spotted and that it’s not worth its effort to try to catch them because the Motmot will have taken flight before it gets close enough to do the bird any harm. That’s very useful because a vital part of a bird’s daily existence is endlessly balancing the amount of energy it expends with the calories its able to consume. Letting a predator know that it’s been seen and therefore has lost the element of surprise minimizes the number of times a Motmot has to take flight to avoid an attack that was going to fail anyway. This leaves more fuel in its tank for other activities it needs to perform for the survival of the species, such as reproducing. And, in the case of the Motmot, reproduction is no simple matter. In the fall, during the rainy season, the male and female take turns digging a tunnel six feet long in the dirt. The following spring they’ll come back to the tunnel to lay their eggs. This approach has two advantages. First, the soil is softer and easier to dig during the fall and, second, when they return to lay their eggs months later the tunnel won’t be freshly dug and therefore less attractive to predators. Motmots are not only incredibly good looking, but pretty clever as well!

On a day during which I also got photos of Scarlet-chested Parrot and Red-lored Whistler. Mid-morning I found this group of babblers quietly foraging in the low scrub and followed them and observed them over an hour or two. They would often appoint a 'sentry' (my words) to keep on the look out while the rest of the group would forage on the ground. This bird is acting as a sentry here.
I should also note that I got photos of these, the Scarlet-chested Parrots and Red-lored Whistlers on the one, very windy day with heavy cloud cover. Bird photos are possible on such days, contrary to popular thought!
May 15, 2019 - "The project, known as Taliesin—Welsh for “shining brow”—consisted of a house with a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sitting room, and garden; studio with a workroom and small apartment; and service wing with stalls for horses, a garage, space designated for carriages and cows, and a milk room. It was located close to other projects Wright designed for members of his family, including the Romeo and Juliet tower (1897); Hillside Home School (1902); and Tan-y-deri (1907), the house Wright built for his sister, Jane Porter.
Like the suburban Prairie-style residences of his early career, Taliesin featured hipped roofs, overhanging eaves, broad chimneys, an open floor plan, and bands of casement windows. The rolling topography of Southern Wisconsin allowed Wright to expand upon his earlier experiments linking site and structure. Here Wright responded to the natural landscape by building Taliesin around a hill top. The architect wrote, “I knew well that no house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and home should live together each the happier for the other.” Indeed, Taliesin was situated to create picturesque views of distant hills and valleys, as well as nearby landscaped gardens. The multiple facets of its hipped roofs appear to follow the contours of the landscape, and Wright chose to build with limestone and other materials native to the area.
Taliesin’s living quarters were tragically destroyed when a disgruntled employee set fire to the property and killed Mamah Borthwick, her two children, and four others on August 15, 1914. Wright subsequently rebuilt the structure, and it was incorporated into a larger estate that is now open to the public."

The birds de jour last week were a couple of Red-browed Treecreepers and a pair(?) of Rose Robins at the ANBG - bot gardens. I dipped on the Rose Robin but did find a couple of Red-brows amongst the vocal White-throated Treecreepers, way up the back. Red-brows are not common in Canberra, generally sticking to thicker forest with big trees, though who knows how long these have been haunting the back reaches of the gardens? It/they did call a few times which made things easier. I can only swear to one but there seemed to be more and others reported two.
Mine disappeared across the fence into CSIRO just as we were getting used to each other.
No really close or sharp photos, mostly because the light was poor - now I understand what high lattitude people have to cope with most of the time. Also partly because I wasn't getting the focus on the bird most of the time, like this one where it slipped to the branch every time. I must work out how to use spot focus with my camera, which for some reason is more difficult than with the 7D, in fact it's impossible with most lenses.
