A very beautiful bird....
Four, very beautiful photos....
You are welcome! It could be that there is more spottings in Project Noah. You can type the name in the white box in organisms and any other spottings should show up :-)
wow! thanks a lot for the link miss Marta! I still haven't seen a Philippine Trogon upclose! It was stunning and beautiful! :)
Oh, wow, now I remember to have seen it in Project Noah. Beautiful birds!
