Water Birds of Sta. Cruz, Zambales Province

I visited the fishponds of this northern border town of Zambales, and the water birds are still there, thriving on easy-to-catch captive fish.

MY OTHER WORK PLACE - Masinloc Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant (600 MW). Not a bird, but this power plant is the main reason why I bird at Subic and other areas in Zambales - my company is tasked to distribute the fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion, for use in concrete. Three exposures were taken with the 350D + 100-400 L IS at 210 mm, then stitched in PS CS2.
