January, we started the year so fine
Williamson’s Sapsucker pecking on a pine
February, we took whatever it will take
to find the Tropical Kingbird at nearby Legg Lake
March, our trip to Oahu was full of bliss
When a Fairy Tern granted our wish
April, we moved to the Philippines, my wife and I
Where we saw new birds like the Lowland White-eye
May, at Coron, Palawan in the southwest
We got 20 lifers, birding was at its best
June, to see the Indigo-banded Kingfisher, where to go?
Where else but to the lovely, friendly Villa Escudero
July, to Palay-Palay an early morning foray
Gave us Whiskered Treeswift to brighten our day
August, in Lipa City through patience, hope and faith
A Red-keeled Flowerpecker showed up after a long wait
September, at Davao City for the 1st Asian Bird Fair
Good food, great friends, plenty of birds everywhere
October, a flock of Oriental Skylarks feeding on the grass
made worthwhile our trip to Calatagan, Batangas
November, the Ferruginous Flycatcher made everybody’s day
until a beliigerent Brown Shrike chased the poor bird away
December, lovely Naked-faced Spiderhunters created a spark
as birders and photographers thronged at La Mesa Ecopark.
