TONJI AND SYLVIA'S BIRD LIST

This is our online life list, in photographs and videos, of wild birds found in the Philippines. There are about 614 plus species of birds in the Philippines, and of these about 172 plus are endemic, or found only in the Philippines.

All of the photographs here are of birds in the wild. A few of the photos were taken by digiscoping. We mostly use SLR cameras with telephoto lenses. We constantly update the photos. It is our hope to improve the quality of our photos as well as try to get to photograph as many species as we encounter.

We became birdwatchers in May 2008. Taking pictures of birds started off simply as a means to identify the birds. It did not take long however to get hooked by the fun and challenge of capturing these wonderful birds in photographs and video. We have since gone to many places visiting areas in Luzon, Mindoro, Palawan and Mindanao.

We hope you enjoy looking at our life list and learning more about wild birds and birdwatching in the Philippines. The Philippines is a beautiful country and we're enjoying learning more about it as birdwatchers. We also hope that more people learn to value, appreciate, and care for the birds of the Philippines and their habitat.
