Lowland White-eye
This small fruit-eating bird is endemic to Luzon. It was taken by Mr. Ely Teehankee last August 11, 2011, at the school parking lot.

Coach Juaqui was able to photograph a white coucal in the watershed. Normally black, the coucals in the river may sometimes become white due to a genetic mutation known as leucism. Click on the image to learn more.
TRCP 2011 Logo
The TRCP 2011 logo first appeared on the 2011 Earth Fund Run shirt. The logo features the first organisms to spark our interest in the watershed- kingfishers, butterflies, frogs and flowering plants. Mr. Seth Estacio helped us with the design.
