| 2/8-13/2013: Our trip to Palawan, Philippines was fascinating. A big thanks to Rommel Cruz of ERC (Eco-Education & Resources Center) and his driver Jo Jo! The island was simply beautiful and the locals were very sweet in aiding our search for birds. We visited the underground river site on the west coast of the island then crossed back towards Puerto Princesa and birded that area, including Pandan Island. Many name changes have taken place recently and the island now has more endemics. |
