BIRDS

This map shows the most recent (1980-present) bird sightings all over the Philippines (currently 630 records of 72 bird species).  Each record is classified according to species name, common english name and its IUCN category (annotation symbols includes circles for critically endangered, triangles for endangered, and squares for vulnerable & data deficient species). A link is provided to view additional information available from the Birdlife International's Red Data Book: Threatened Birds of Asia (http://www.rdb.or.id/).  Locational information is also provided by Birdlife International.

The map is a satellite image composite of a high resolution global image mosaic of the earth, produced from more than 8200 individual Landsat7 scenes provided by the OnEarth Landsat Web Mapping Service of NASA (http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/).   The images have been collected during 1999-2003. The highest resolution image has a ground relative resolution of 15 meters, or 50 foot.  The toolbar allows you to zoom in/out of the map. You can pan the zoomed map by either using the arrow keys or by a simple click and drag.
