Going Beyond Earth Hour
El Nido Resorts joined 172 countries and celebrated under the stars during the global 'Lights Off' event. In March 28, from 8:30pm to 9:30pm, guests and staff of Miniloc, Lagen, Apulit, and Pangulasian seized their power in changing climate change. All non-essential lights were switched off for one hour - Earth Hour.
Creature Feature: Eastern Reef Egret
The eastern reef egret (Egretta sacra) sometimes comes off as the bird that can't make up its mind. Not content with being one color, this bird comes in three shades - blue-gray, white, and a mottled somewhere-in-between.
Creature Feature: Asian glossy starling
If you spot a flock of black birds with blood-red eyes, don't freak out! They're just Asian glossy starlings (Aplonis panayensis) roosting together for the night.
Creature Feature: Stork-billed Kingfisher
You'll have no trouble identifying the stork-billed kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis) when you see it - its size, bright ocher and blue-green color, and prominent red beak makes it unmistakable.
Creature Feature: Pacific swallow
Ever tried to identify the small, fast-flying birds flitting around the El Nido Resorts properties? If you caught a quick glimpse of a brown face then you're in luck - you just spotted a Pacific swallow!
