Saw this young bird at the Albay Park and Wildlife, Albay, Philippines. A mini-zoo that is also serving as wildlife rescue center. Just google for the Rufous hornbill to see how adult ones look like. Very different from the juveniles. I cant paste a web link here in the description box anymore with flickr's new layout.. This bird is endemic to the Philippines, but can't be found in Catanduanes. We only have here the Luzon Tarictic hornbill.

Mount Isarog in Camarines Sur, Philippines is a dormant but potentially active composite volcano whose last known eruption was in 1641. The Volcano rises at 1966 meters above sea level making it one of the highest rainforest mountains in Southern Luzon. It is rich in spring water because of the lush green rainforest that effectively collects heavy amount of moisture from the frequent clouds that cover it's upper portion. It also has a large concentration of virgin forest that is home to thousands of species of wild plants and animals, many of which are rare and some are endemic to the area.
Mt Isarog is about 400 kilometers southeast of Metro Manila, 20 km east of Naga City, and about 100 km northwest of Mayon Volcano It was declared a national park in 1938 and was used by the Filipino guerillas as a hideout during the Japanese occupation in WWII. It is Dubbed as Vulcan de Agua or The Water Mountain because of the many springs and streams that flow from it's slopes. It is responsible for the irrigation of many farms and plantations surrounding it and is also responsible for the supply of water to the Camsur Watersport Complex or CWC.
