Hungry White-eyes after Typhoon "Egay"

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

After more than 24 hours of strong winds and torrential rains brought by Typhoon "Egay" (international name - Linfa ), Lowland White-eyes
converged like starving bees at a fruiting tree in my mother's backyard at Bacnotan, La Union. The tiny birds feasted like there's no tomorrow on whatever
berry-like fruits that survived the onslaught of the howler. I braved the light rains and wind of the typhoon's tail-end and enjoyed a prolonged shooting session.
I had to wrap my birding combo in a plastic sheet to protect it from moisture. The overcast lighting made exposures easier to tame. Again, the 400 2.8 IS +
2x TC II's IQ and AF accuracy didn't disappoint (the DOF is super thin at 800 mm and 3 - 5 meters shooting distance).
