    New Zealand, Queenstown, January 2016

    Since I'd been to New Zealand before, a friend asked me if I knew what this (finch-like?) bird they'd photographed in January 2016 near Queenstown was, but I wasn't able to ID it. I was wondering if anyone might know. Thanks for your help.

    Any chance this is a Swinhoe's White-eye? Jeju Island, South Korea

    The thing that makes me hesitate the most in calling it Swinhoe's is the bill, which the Birds Korea link http://www.birdskoreablog.org/?p=22350 stresses as a major defining feature. ("The bill is rather long and heavy" and "Note the heavy and long bill" and "Again, note the bill length" when...

    Any chance this is a Swinhoe's White-eye? Jeju Island, South Korea

    Thank you. That Birds Korea entry was helpful. I got some good information from it, though it wasn't decisive. At the moment, I think I would have to enter it as Warbling on platforms like eBird and Bird Track as I can't call the Swinhoe's for sure based on the photo I posted and the information...

    Any chance this is a Swinhoe's White-eye? Jeju Island, South Korea

    I know it's a slim chance, but I was wondering if this bird sighted (and very poorly photographed with the only available camera, a small point-and-shoot) on June 20, 2020 on Jeju Island in South Korea could possibly be Swinhoe's rather than the very common and thus expected Warbling White-eye...

    Swinhoe's White-eye? Owl. South Korea

    Thanks. Swinhoe's seemed a bit of a stretch.

    Swinhoe's White-eye? Owl. South Korea

    I used to live in South Korea, so I sometimes get questions from there, sometimes passed through many hands. The questions I got this time were: 1) Is this an example of the Swinhoe's White-eye that is a result of the 2019 re-classification of white-eyes? 2) Is this recording from Seoul on...

    Mindanao Feb 2018: Philippine Eagle and other endemics. Kitanglad, Davao, PICOP

    If there are 1-3 people who are up for a trip to Mindanao from 9-18 Feb 2018, it would be a good chance to see the eagle and other Mindanao and Philippine endemics. Almost more important than the eagle is PICOP, one of the most alarmingly fast-disappearing forests on the planet. Time is of the...

    Guides for Palawan and Cebu

    Ah, I'm sorry. I misspoke when I said "all the endemics." I should have said, "all the endemics in the places we went," which were the Irawan Eco Park near Puerta Princessa and locales in the Sabang area (St. Paul's National Park; the ATM trail, Zig Zag Road, the Balsahan Trail in the Iwahig...

    Bohol Island

    The people at Habitat Bohol (the butterfly garden) https://www.facebook.com/HabitatBoholWildlifeAdventure used to be able to contact him. But when I was there both in February and May 2016 they said they couldn't get hold of him. You might try, though. Could be that he just wasn't available the...

    Guides for Palawan and Cebu

    1. I just did a short trip to Palawan (in February 2017). Unfortunately my busy work schedule doesn't allow me to do a full trip report. But I did just want to mention the independent guide I had on Palawan who got me encounters with all of the island's endemics. He knew all key species...

    Last minute Palawan, 13-16 Februrary 2017

    I'm doing a 4-day/3-night Palawan endemics trip from 13-16 Feb, 2017. If anyone happens to be available to join me at this late date, all are welcome. The itinerary is basically the same as that done by the major organizations, but I've arranged it with a smaller, independent agency. The trip...
