Bgy Paralaya, Candaba, Pampanga
Birders: Trinket Canlas, Adri Constantino,
Drew Galano, Mike Lu, Abby Santos
Data was submitted to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources as part of our contribution to the Asian Waterbird
Census.
Bgy Paralaya is to the east of the town of Candaba. From the
Candaba town hall, take the side street on the left side of
the building and drive out until you reach the ricefields
which stretches as far as the eyes can see. We have surveyed
only a small part of the fields.
This is a good site and should be part of the AWC site for
Candaba henceforth.
