Kalawit, Zamboanga del Norte

[Neil Konrad III]

I was able to sneak in some birding while on official business in Kalawit, Zamboangao del Norte. :-)

The name of the place is said to from the words "kalaw+awit" due to the flocks of hornbills that used to be present. Local residents would keep track of time using their call.

I wish I had more time to kill: sadly, I only had about an hour

Good for you, mixing birding and work! Nice ducks!

Nice set, Neil!

Thank you ma'am Sylvia and Sir Ramon ;D

These are wonderful captures of the ducks, Neil. The scene looked so serene and the ducks looked tamed (obviously are aware of your presence). Thanks for sharing.
