After three years, a rarely seen migratory bird in the country was spotted in Hinactacan wetlands in Lapaz, Iloilo City. The colorful Glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) made a surprising touchdown on Nov 29, 2020 in Hinactacan. Rachel A. Casio of the Conservation and Development Division (CDD) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the region captured the arrival of the Glossy ibis with his lenses. In 2017, Casio also documented the arrival of the Brent goose (Branta bernicla nigricans), which was the first country record in the same site.
