Scratching the three-month itch

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

For the past three months or so, I haven't had any serious birding, all because of some pressing matters I have to attend to. Not being able to take it any longer, I packed my gear this June 29th and visited my favorite enchanted mountain - Makiling. Not a lot of birds there today. On the way back to the city, I checked out the Coastal Road lagoon. It was low tide in the afternoon but without the migrants, the lagoon was not so exciting. Still, pressing the shutter button with any feathered creature in the viewfinder certainly brought back traces of my lost sanity....:)
