thanks for giving me this opportunity Mastah. Joining this group reminisce my colorful biodiversity expeditions before. If only Canon and Nikon provided me with a very good camera then I could have captured Mindanao's avian species in digital and life-like pictures.

Hello Godo,
There was a banding activity conducted by AWB I think last 2000 after my discovery but I'm not sure if there was a follow-up because I had a "paradigm shift " when I had an opportunity to work in Bohol. By the way I got a very good site for bird photography in Bohol. We had developed the site with an aid from German Dev't Service. I tell you you won't regret it.

Hello Toto,
The trick is in the size (total length), bill color, legs and feet. I'll send to you the details of the differences. Identification needs a lot of practice (right Mastah?) and patience. Start with the Greater Egret since its size is very notable being the largest white-feathered egret

Thanks Eric, I spent the whole time last night finding the picture of the Chinese Egret's nest. Somebody must have borrowed it and never gave it back just like my bukidnon woodcock sample. I'll check on it in other storage bins hope it's there

Yes Mastah I didn't include cattle egret intentionally because I got no good picture of that bird.

I'm not sure with the name of the wetland but its located in Panguil Bay particularly in the Municipality of Lala, Lanao del Norte. I heard from a friend that Asian Wetland Bureau was conducting migratory avian census way back in late 1900s to early 2000. By the way thanks for the push to publish my study, I'll try my best to come up with a write-up and I'll share a hard copy to you. Great to have this group because I only share this information with Eric P before.

hello sir Ed,
yup flash was used. I'm observing the nest everyday and the cute chicks (2 head) are always begging for more food. Both parents are feeding the chicks

Thanks for the comments Mastah! Yes I got lots of excellent shots then but not in digital copies. I got a record for nesting Chinese Egret, the male was banded in Malaysia while the female was in Taiwan and the pair bred in the wetlands of my study area. I thank you for keeping this site to share our thoughts on the beautiful birds...long live PBPF!
