Beautiful Ashy Drongo. Nice color, nice long tail, nice eyes. Excellent capture.
It's really sad that the Philippine Government neglected the environment. Here, many areas are designated as refuge for wildlife. Funding is sourced from either the federal government or state government. They are pretty well managed. Areas are designated only for wildlife & people cannot enter. Where the Snow Goose was in Middle Creek was an area that was cordoned off from people. People like us don't cross the wire rope that limits us where to go. Since the Snow Goose feel not threatened they graze even pretty close to where we were & even if the entire area along the wire rope was lined up with people. People are disciplined, no one crosses the perimeter.
