The visit to the Cabusao Wetlands in Camarines Sur took place at a time when most migratory birds had already left, so the number of species and individuals was limited. The area remained open and quiet, with shallow water, mudflats, and patches of vegetation typical of coastal wetlands. Despite the fewer sightings, the birds that were present allowed for clearer observation.

A prominent species in the area was the Great Egret (Ardea alba), which could be seen standing in shallow water. It is a large white heron with a long neck and a yellow bill, typically feeding by slowly walking or standing still before catching fish or small aquatic organisms. The Javan Pond Heron (Ardeola speciosa) was also present, mostly observed along the edges of the wetland. In its non-breeding plumage, it appears brown and streaked, allowing it to blend with the surroundings, but it shows white wings when in flight.

The Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) was seen flying low over the water. It has a light gray body, darker cap, and a slightly forked tail, and it feeds by dipping into the water to catch small fish and insects. In the shallower sections, the Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia) was observed walking through the water. It is a medium-sized wader with long greenish legs and a slightly upturned bill, using a steady foraging pattern to feed on small aquatic prey.

On drier ground, the Spotted Dove (Spilopelia chinensis) was noted. It is a common resident bird with a grayish-brown body and a distinct black patch on the neck spotted with white. It is usually found in open areas and feeds on seeds.
