The stare directed at me, coupled with the difficulty of finding this raptor while perched, are the reasons why this got into the Top non-Endemics list. This bird was on a branch high over the Subic rainforest. I had to snap on the Sigma 2x TC to the Sigmonster (total of 1600 mm) to make the subject bigger in the frame, as well as to get a shallower angle.
