Candaba (in the province of Pampanga) became a popular birding destination several years back when people were made aware of the thousands of migratory birds that made the swamp their winter home. The influx of these migratory birds is evident during the months of November to January when the sky would darken with flocks of wild birds (egrets, ducks, etc) out to feed at dawn or dusk. The wide wetlands filled with tall reeds was a perfect feeding and breeding ground. There were times of the year when the area is flooded and left untouched by human hands because its quite difficult to access.
