Migratory Birds and Resident Birds Rest and Refuel at Las Pinas – Paranaque Wetland Park

Las Pinas-Paranaque Wetland Park is a sanctuary for migratory birds and resident waterbirds such as Rufous night heron, little egret, grey heron, and black-crowned night heron, among others. Migratory birds often stop briefly along wetlands, swamps, marshes, intertidal and coastal areas, rivers, ponds, lakes, and forests to rest and refuel for their onward journey. The influx of migratory birds in the country is expected every September. They often return to their breeding grounds in March to continue with their northward migration.

The presence of migratory birds is one of the key indicators that our wetlands, coastlines, and forests are healthy and thriving.

Help us protect these migratory birds by protecting our wetlands and reporting to the nearest DENR field office anyone who have killed, inflicted injury, or is engaged in their hunting, collection, and trade.
