Blue-naped Parrot Up Close at Subic Rainforest

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

In my first visit to Subic rainforest in almost three months, I got lucky to be able to capture a Blue-naped Parrot up close, while a flock of four of these birds were feeding at a guava tree.
There were not many birds birds at Subic, so I decided to use the Morong (Bataan) backdoor on my return to Manila.... and I wasn't disappointed. Got some full frame shots of the
White-throated Kingfisher, plus a perched Little Egret, along this scenic route.
