A once in a lifetime event.. Seeing this rare migrant after a storm in Cavite. This was one of the bird moments I will not forget...

Eurasian Hoopoe, rare accidental migrant

It looks like these guys have even showed up in Alaska back in 1975. That's really far off course!

That's not so surprising it's an onomatopoeia.

What is surprising is they tuck their face to make that noise! I don't think I have ever seen a bird do that before.

It was a surprise to me too, I've seen and heard them my whole life and when I saw the video I realised that never did both at the same time ๐Ÿ˜†
