On Sunday, August 25, a birding excursion took place at the Molawin Biopark Creek in Laguna, Philippines. Johan Michael Arnaiz joined the excursion, which lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 0.271 km.

During the early morning excursion, Johan recorded nine different bird species. Some of these species include the Red-crested Malkoha, a medium-sized, arboreal tree-crow. Johan also spotted a Blue-tailed Bee-eater, a vibrant bird known for its bright colors and distinct call, as well as a Coppersmith Barbet, a bird with a unique call that sounds like a hammer being struck on metal.

In addition, Johan observed the Guaiabero, a species often found in the tropical forests of the Philippines. The Black-naped Oriole, a colorful bird commonly associated with forests, was spotted six times during the excursion. The excursion also highlighted the presence of the Philippine Pied-Fantail, a small bird recognized by its fan-shaped tail.

Other notable findings include the presence of the Philippine Jungle Crow, a species distinct from the common crow, and the Yellow-vented Bulbul, a bird commonly seen in urban areas. Johan also spotted the Stripe-sided Rhabdornis, a species native to the Philippines.
