One of the great bird experiences on the trip to see this mythic bird on its breeding ground.
Tim Fisher discovered this species in 1993 on Mt. Kitanglad, and in 1995 managed to catch an
individual. This made it possible for him to describe it as a new species to the world.
1/6 1-2 birds seen and heard around camp, at dawn and dusk. 2/6 3 birds, do., 3/6 1 heard at Del
Monte Lodge, waking up the team by its strange display call. A nice alarm clock!
