In an almost two hectares of land lying by a river bank here, the crack of dawn offers a melodious harmony of birds; thousands dot the skies also during sunsets, a pleasure for bird watchers.

Bird species such as the intermediate egret, great egret and rufus night heron have been monitored in the farm, said Romeo Jacobo, Sr., one of the four wildlife wardens paid by the city government to take care of the bird habitat. The city government declared Baras a bird sanctuary on Aug. 7, 2002.
The birds hunt for food, particularly fishes, in Liguasan marsh, Lake Buluan and Lake Sebu. Liguasan and Lake Buluan straddle part of North Cotabato and Maguindanao while Lake Sebu is in South Cotabato. The birds were also monitored as hunting food in the remote coastal town of Lebak in Sultan Kudarat.
