Overview
A great bird seizes the hunter Sogsogot and carries him to a nest in a tree too tall to climb down. It contains two young birds and pigs brought as food. Sogsogot feeds himself and the nestlings from the prey, while their mother brings more pigs and deer.
When the young can fly, he grips their legs and they carry him to the ground. Cole’s note gives the bird’s Tinguian name as Banog and compares its narrative role with Garuḍa. The comparison is editorial; this entry does not identify Banog as that deity or infer additional anatomy or a zoological species.
