This is just a simple thread that photo-documents the various species of wild birds in my home province.
All are encouraged and welcome to post photos of wild birds taken in La Union, just note the following simple posting guidelines:
1. One species per post (multiple photos of a species are ok).
2. Please number your post to indicate that it's the nth species posted (n = number of last posted species + 1). 3. Only wild birds captured in La Union should be posted; as customary, shooting details should be included.
4. If the species has been previously posted, new images of the same species may be posted again provided that the original species number will be used + a suffix (ex. original species is no. 3.0, new images are 3.1, 3.2..... etc.) to indicate that it's a new image of an existing species.
5. Comments may be posted.
6. Photo-documentary threads for other places may be opened, as these can be of great help to netizens googling for images of birds seen in their area.
