Thanks to birdnut Usec Fred Serrano, we (together with Alain del Pascua, Enrique Frio, and Orlando Balbido) were introduced to another birding site at UP Los Banos. The CA Agri-Park is intended to showcase its homegrown technologies. Since it has lots of indigenous plants, trees, and a bee apiary, the park attracts various types of birds. It is also surrounded with experimental rice fields and a savannah that serve as habitat for various water birds and grass birds.
I spent a few hours in the morning and back again in the afternoon at the AgriPark today and here are some of my captures.
All pictures were taken with my Canon EOS 7D, EF 100-400mm L IS USM, car window support or handheld.
Thanks a lot for viewing my photos.
