| Remarks |
This Polillo
subspecies with its unmistakable resonating call is today a flagship
species for Polillo. While residents recall 'tarictic' recipes, the
persecution of this charismatic bird, is today largely history, it
has certainly benefited from legislation against hunting in the Municipality
of Polillo. It is broadly distributed across both Polillo Island and
Patnanungan. |
