A total of 2,610 waterbirds were seen flocking in five wetlands here in Iloilo during the Annual Waterbird Census conducted by Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO)-Guimbal Wildlife Conservation Section and Wildlife Traffic Monitoring Unit. Different migratory water birds with diverse colors and features were sighted in the wetlands located at Barangays of Sooc and San Jose in Arevalo District, Hinactacan in La Paz District, Bitoon in Jaro District and at Katunggan Park in Sitio Panus-on, Nabitasan, Leganes last Jan 4,7-10, 2020. The team of CENRO Guimbal used binoculars and a spotting scope to sight and count the migratory waterbirds bound to save their species by looking for temporary habitat to feed and breed.
