Zamboanga Bulbul

It is one of the species of Ixos that might warrant inclusion in the genus Hypsipetes – as long as this is kept separate from Ixos – as it may be a close relative of the Philippine Bulbul , which in turn is closely related to the type species of Hypsipetes, the Black Bulbul .

The Zamboanga Bulbul is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.

The primary target bird here is the Zamboanga Bulbul, which replaces the widespread Philippine Bulbul in this restricted area of the archipelago. Fortunately the Bulbul is relatively common and good views were had daily, along with two other species difficult to see elsewhere; White-eared Tailorbird, whose range lies almost entirely in high-risk areas of Mindanao, and the universally scarce Philippine Dwarf Kingfisher.

easiest place to see the Zamboanga Bulbul, a close relative of the more widespread Philippine Bulbul which it replaces only in the Zamboanga Peninsula of west Mindanao. This area is also currently the most accessible area to see White-eared Tailorbird and our exploration of the forest here is likely to produce surprises in this relatively little-known area with Philippine Dwarf-Kingfisher, Mindanao Crow, Short-crested Monarch and the gorgeous Mindanao Wattled Broadbill all possibilities.
