She shares some facts on the Chestnut-faced Babbler: This bird, Zosteromis whitehead, is endemic to the island in the Philippines. They are generally found in the mountain forests generally above 1000m (although occasionally down to 100m). They frequent broadleaf forests, moist mossy forests, pine forests, open forests, scrub, and human-modified habitats.
So if you're visiting Maligcong, why not bring along your binoculars, camera and long lenses, along with your sense of wonder.
