The morning was well on its way and the whole place resounded with the squawks and screeches of a thousand birds. At first the place looked like an ordinary farm with unkept kakawate trees, until you take a closer look and see branches laden with nests and birds. Deep in the middle of African oil palm tree plantation in Brgy Baras in Tacurong is an amazing nesting and breeding area of various species of herons and egrets, and we came right smack in the middle of the nesting season.

I'm a little bit behind my posts, still have a ton of photos on Lake Sebu and pages of stories to tell. And then there's the bird sanctuary in Baras (Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat) and recently our Cebu-Bohol trip.

The photo above shows my little corner of the world, and I'm going to be there again soon.

Aside from its beautiful beaches, the mystical island of Siquijor is blessed with two equally majestic waterfalls.

As the dawn breaks on the island on a Sunday, Siquijor Church is already all lit up for the early mass. Siquijor, with all its interesting churches, is also known, or should I say notoriously known, for alleged practices of black magic and witchcraft. Its an interesting juxtaposition but personally I find the island too beautiful to entertain such a notion.
