4There are more than 600 bird species in the seven thousand islands of the Philippines which means there are plenty of opportunities to watch the graceful beauty of these flying creatures.Misy 600 mahery ny karazam-borona ao amin'ny nosy miisa 7000 an'i Philippines izay midika fa betsaka ny fotoana ahafahana mijery ny hakanton'ireo zavaboary manidina ireo.
5Further, thousands of migratory birds can be seen in the islands since the country is located in the Asia-Pacific flyway.Fanampin'izany, mety ahitana vorona mpifindramonina ihany koa amin'ireo vondro-nosy izay andalovan'ny lalam-pisidinana mampitohy an'i Azia sy Pasifika.
6Unfortunately, bird habitats are threatened by development aggression projects and the rapid destruction of the natural environment.Saingy mampalahelo, ahiana ho potiky ny tetikasam-pampandrosoana mihetaketaka sy ny fahapotehan'ny tontolo voajanahary ny fonenam-borona.
7In recent years, birdwatching has become more than a fun activity organized by amateurs and scientists across the country.Tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy izay, lasa mihoatra noho ny fanalan'andro manerana ny firenena omanin'ny mpankafy sy ny manampahaizana ny fizaham-borona.
8Birders have also actively advocated the protection of bird sanctuaries aside from promoting awareness about the country's wild birds.Navitrika tamin'ny fisoloambava ho fiarovana ny tontolo masin'ny vorona ankoatra ny fanentanana fanairana momba ny fiainan'ny vorona mpirenireny ao amin'ny firenena ihany koa ny “Birders” (mpankafy vorona).
9A few weeks ago, the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines successfully conducted a bird festival in Zamboanga City, located in the southern island of Mindanao.Herinandro vitsivitsy lasa izay, nahatontosa soa aman-tsara ny fetiben'ny vorona tao an-tanànan'i Zamboanga, miorina any amin'ny faritra atsimon'ny nosy Mindanao ny Club-n'ny voromanidina ao Phillipines.
10Zamboanga may have a reputation of being a dangerous city (it figured prominently in the news last year after armed rebels attacked several villages and abducted hundreds of civilians), but it is home to hundreds of bird species, including migratory birds like the Pacific Barn Swallow.Mety ho malaza ho tanàna mampididoza i Zamboanga (malaza tamin'ny vaovao tamin'ny herintaona nanafihan'ny mpioko mitam-piadiana tanàna ambanivohitra maro sy nakan'izy ireo takalon'aina izy), saingy fonenam-borona anjatony ihany koa, ka ao anatin'izany ny vorona mpifindramonina toy ny sidintsidin'i Pasifika.
11One of the organizers of the festival, maiabird, wrote about some of the rare bird species in Zamboanga:Nanoratra momba ny karazam-boromanidina tsy fahita firy tao Zamboanga ny iray amin'ny mpanomana ny fetibe antsoina hoe :
12I also got a lifer while guiding!Nahapika “zavamananaina” aho tamin'izaho nitari-dalana ny hafa!
13I saw my first dark phase Eastern Reef Egret! Sadly, it didn't go out into the open but flew into the dense mangroves to hide.Sambako aho nahita Voronomby (fantatsika amin'ny hoe vorompotsy na mety ho vano koa) Tatsinanana miloko Matroka! indrisy moa fa tsy nivoaka teny ankahalalahana izy fa nanidina nankany amin'ny alan-konko matevina mba hiafina.
14But I did get a good look at the whole bird as it glided out of sight.Saingy hitako [azoko manontolo] ilay voromanidina tamin'ny fotoana hitsoriahany mankany amin'ny tsy hita maso.
15So, I got three lifers in four hours birding in Pasonanca.Izany hoe, nahapika “zavamananaina” telo aho nandritra ny ora efatra nizahako vorona tao Pasonanca.
16I was also able to hear the Mindanao Hawk Owl and Everett's Scops Owl when I joined an owling trip a few days earlier in the area too.Afa-nandre ny hiakam-borondolo-voromahery Mindanao sy vorondolo kelikely Everett aho raha nanao fitsangatsanganana nizaha vorondolo tao amin'ny faritra ihany andro vitsivitsy talohan'izao.
17The Pasonanca Natural Park is such a wonderful place to go birding in.Tena mahafinaritra tokoa ny Valan-Javaboary Pasonanca raha hizahana voromanidina.
18The place and bird life is amazing (and the trails are easy!)Tena mahavariana tokoa ny toerana sy ny fiainam-borona ao (ary mora ihany koa ny lalana!)
19I really, really loved the time I spent there.Tena ankafiziko dia ankafiziko tokoa ny fotoana laniko tany.
20We will definitely be back and spend more time discovering more of the forest.Mbola hiverina tanteraka any izahay ary handany fotoana betsaka kokoa hijery zavatra bebe kokoa any an'ala.
21And besides, I've dipped on the White-eared Tailorbird there twice!Ankilan'izany, indroa nifanena (nifanondraka) tamin'ny vorona fotsisofina aho tany!
22She was also thrilled to see a nest of Great Egrets, a rare finding in the country:Ravoravo ihany koa izy mahita akanim-boropotsy (voronomby) lehibe, zavatra tsy dia fahita loatra ao amin'ny firenena:
23Of course, our bins were automatically drawn to the cluster of nesting Great Egrets which makes the fishponds an important birding site.Mazava loatra fa nitodika ho azy tany amin'ireo vondron'akanim-boropotsy lehibe izay mahatonga ny kamory ho toerana manandanja ho an'ny fiainam-borona ny boatim-[pakantsari]nay.
24The occurrence of breeding Great Egrets there is a great subject for further study!Lohahevitra lehibe ho amin'ny fanadihadiana lalina kokoa ny fahitana ankanim-boropotsy lehibe eto!

28Meanwhile, university professor Arnold Alamon has been uploading photos of birds in Gitagum, also in Mindanao island.Mandritra izany fotoana izany ny mpampianatra amin'ny oniversite, ny profesora Arnold Alamon namoaka sarin'ny vorona ao Gitagum, ao amin'ny nosy Mindanao ihany koa.
29The town of Gitagum is near Laguindingan, the site of a new international airport.Ny tanànan'i Gitagum dia manakaiky an'i Laguindingan, toerana misy ny seranampiaramanidina iraisampirenena.
