Candaba wetlands mark record on migratory birds
December 28, 2010
CANDABA — The wetlands in this town marked another Philippine record when for the first time, a Greater White-fronted Goose – a bird living usually in Northern and Central North America including Europe – surfaced here recently.
Alex Loinaz and Sylvia Ramos, Wild Bird Club of the Philippines members, captured on camera the goose flying freely in the wetlands in Doña Simang, Barangay Vizal in San Pablo.
The Greater White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) is a goose species closely related to the smaller Lesser White-fronted Goose (A. erythropus).
In Europe, it is known simply as White-fronted Goose; in North America it is known as the Greater White-fronted Goose (or “Greater Whitefront”), and this name is also increasingly adopted internationally.
Greater Whitefronts have bright orange legs and mouse-colored upper wing-coverts. They are smaller than Greylag Geese, having yellow eye-ring of that species, and the white facial blaze does not extend upwards so far as in the Lesser.
Migratory birds, for years, have been visiting the Candaba swamp during the month of October, and going back to their countries of origin in March of every year.
Earlier, other rare migratory birds such as seven purple swamphens (Porphyrio porphyrio), Chinese pond herons (Ardeola bacchus), and black-crowned night-herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) were also previously included in the list of species documented in the Candaba wetlands by birdwatchers.
