Birding Bliss in Bohol's Raja Sikatuna National Park
On January 7, 2025, Owen Yates embarked on a 16-minute birding excursion in Raja Sikatuna National Park, Bohol, Philippines. The trip covered a distance of 0.709 kilometers, and yielded a single species sighting.
The highlight of the trip was the spotting of the Gray-streaked Flycatcher (Muscicapa daunae). According to Owen, this bird species is a common migrant in the Philippines, and its presence in the park is a testament to the region's rich biodiversity.
Unfortunately, the brief duration of the trip limited the observers' ability to note further details about the species, but the sighting was still a thrilling experience for Owen, an avid birdwatcher.
The Raja Sikatuna National Park, with its lush forests and diverse habitats, provides a unique opportunity for bird enthusiasts to spot a variety of species. This birding trip serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting such natural wonders, ensuring the continued thrive of bird species like the Gray-streaked Flycatcher.
