Black-faced spoonbill, migratory birds believed to be part of the 550 indiduals left in the wild throughout the world.


Official record shows that these birds were last seen in tidal areas of Luzon in 1914.


Park Ranger Alexander Binalon recognized the birds through posters distributed by the Protected Areas Wildlife Bureau (PAWB).
