Abstract

From September 1970 till March 1972 field observations on birds were carried out on the Philippine Island Mindoro Occ., in the vicinity of the town San Jose. This paper deals with plovers, snipes and waders which were either on the passage, or wintering in that area. A few individuals of ten species probably remain also during sommer season in the Philippines. The evaporation lakes of the Philippine Salt Industry (PSI), the ricefields and fishponds of the adjacent National Investment and Development Corporation (NIDC), including the coast of the South China Sea and two large rivers are an important habitat for these birds. Therefore, 14 additions have been made to the avifaunal list of Mindoro Island.
