Here is a pic I took of the ever reliable Palawan Peacock Pheasant at Sabang. He takes company with up to 3 females and is ridiculously tame. If you go there be sure to go on the mangrove boat ride, its very good. We had Silvery Kingfisher, Blue Naped Parrot, Philippine Cockatoo, Stork Billed Kingfisher, Hawk Eagle, Palawan Hornbill and Philippine Hill Myna. There were many other very small Kingfishers but I only got glimpses of them.
