Rain birds of Paralaya

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

We did a field test of the Canon EOS 7D at Paralaya, Candaba wetlands, for a couple of days this weekend. Unfortunately for our test,
the rains just kept on falling, and we were not able to put a lot of BIF stress on the new camera's AF system. Here are a few birds captured during this trip.
