FLOCKING TOGETHER

Groups like the Birdwatch Philippines Community, an online Facebook group run by the members of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines, are a great place to ask for help in identifying the many Birds around you. You don’t need a high-end camera to start basking in Birdlife!

Q: You took photos of the Brown Shrike, Zebra Dove, and Crested Myna in Paranaque -- tell us where and how you spotted them. Can you tell them apart based on their Bird calls?

A: Madalas, sila ay makikita sa mga lugar na marami pang puno, at dahil sa libangan ko na ito ng ilang taon, pamilyar na din ako sa huni ng ilang mga ibon.

(I usually see them in areas that still have trees. Because of my years of bird photography, I have become familiar with the calls of the birds)
