Palawan Peacock, Polyplectron emphanum
Palawan Peacock, Polyplectron emphanum
Location: Puerto Princessa, Palawan, Philippines
Symbol of Puerto Princesa and highly endangered, ornithologists say there are only 2,500 Palawan peacocks left. We stumbled across this guy in a site I will not disclose, and I talked it into camera range, first shooting eight minutes of video until the rain drowned my camcorder. I picked up my D50 and continued the shoot in stills. The full 24 image slide show is in the Wildlife section. – many of my reject shots were out of focus because the bird was to close, but I am sure you will enjoy the shots at http://www.johngray-seacanoe.com/gallery-category46.php
