Modern life is a rich and varied confluence of information, technology, social interaction, work, travel, family and fun – if you’re lucky. There are smartphones in the most remote corners of our world and we have advanced in scientific endeavor further than ever before. Our cities are huge bustling metropolises and they’re growing larger every day. More than half of the earth’s population lives in these urban centres and this percentage is steadily increasing. However, despite this cumulative urbanization, there is a tacit understanding among the human race that connection to nature is an essential factor in our happiness. For all our obsession with man-made wonders nothing compares to the creations of Mother Nature. Vast underground cave systems, wild desert landscapes, breathtaking waterfalls, staggering geology and spectacular vestiges of our prehistoric past all remind us of our small place in earth’s story. And even with our ever-expanding knowledge of the way the world came to be, some landscapes still leave us utterly perplexed. This is the mystery and the majesty of the natural world.

Semifinals, Poll 6

Whiskered Auklet vs Palawan Peacock-pheasant

sources under the cut

Whiskered Auklet (Aethia pygmaea)

"An odd characteristic of this bird, which is also shared with the crested auklet, is that its plumage smells of citrus" - Wikipedia

eBird sightings: 576; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern

Unlike most alcids, Whiskered Auklets stay at their breeding islands and roost on land year-round. They are the second smallest auklets, which is why their species name is 'pygmaea'. Whiskered Auklets feed on copepods (small crustaceans), and switch to krill in the fall and winter.

Palawan Peacock-pheasant (Polypectron napoleonis)

"The male Palawan excavates slight depressions in which [he] orients [his] body during postural display behaviors. The bird vibrates loudly via stridulation of rectrice quills." - Wikipedia

eBird sightings: 327; IUCN Redlist Rating: Vulnerable

All peacock-pheasant have multiple spurs, with this species having two on each leg. The spurs are used for anti-predator defense, foraging in leaf litter, as well as contests between males. Unlike many pheasants, the clutch size of this species is very small, only two eggs a year. This is likely due to the invested care from both parents, rearing the chicks together for up to two years.

What many of us visitors to Coron Island don’t know, is that we are likely swimming in what was once burial grounds. To be specific, sacred waters, which is how we tourists should always treat them.

Learn some things about Coron they don't tell you on the tour, in my latest blog post:

The Healing Waters Of Coron

I love places that make you realize how tiny you and your problems are... Coron is one of those places. Coron is one of the most beautiful places I've been to. While swimming in the lakes and seas of Coron, the world just kind of went away. I forgot all of my problems... I highly recommend this vacation destination.
