Courtship of Philippine eagle pair captured on film
Government wildlife conservationists documented last week the courtship of a pair of the national bird in the Cotabato province side of Mt. Apo, the country’s highest peak.
Shirley Uy, protected area superintendent of the Mt. Apo Natural Park, said the “stunning display of the aerial courtship” of two critically endangered Philippine eagles “was a breathtaking milestone” in the conservation effort of Mt. Apo and of the raptors.
“The courtship between the two eagles has raised the bar in the ongoing efforts to protect and save these raptors,” Uy said.
The natural pairing of the raptors in the wild boosted hopes of eventually increasing their population which is currently estimated at only 392 pairs.
