List of Birds at Rajah Sikatuna National ParkThe Rajah Sikatuna National Park or presently known as the Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape occupies a total land area of 9,023 hectares of land; 6,300 made up of forests, natural and man-made. It is home to various species of birds; all of which were spotted in the premises by bird watchers and recorded. In fact, a birder’s logbook is available at the park’s headquarters which is a handy guide for beginners and for visitors. The park’s thick woodland, aside from dense flora and fauna, is an ideal habitat not only for the birds but also of butterflies, bats, monkeys and others. Wildlife is undisturbed and roams freely in the park. Among others, the following birds have been seen in Rajah Sikatuna National Park. The pictures, however, were taken from the internet just to give you an idea of how each bird looks. A few were taken directly at Rajah Sikatuna National Park by foreign birders, though.
