More birds from the South Lagoon

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

The nice thing about South Lagoon (by Manila Bay) is it's only 20 minutes drive from where I live. I woke up early this morning and saw some stars in the dawn sky. Wow, I can't believe the sun would show itself today. So I cleared up my morning schedule, packed my gear and hurried to this place. Here are some pics from almost three hours of unscheduled birding...;-)
