Hi there !
ReplyDeleteI have had a few of these(Orange-bellied Flower pecker) flying around amongst my flowers in my garden on Siargao Island , are they resident or migratory ?
Thanks
Resident. The race on Siargao is probably cinereigularis which differs from the above in having a yellow chin and light grey throat. I'll be in Siargao in June, and will look out for them.
