A birding expedition into Indonesia's Tanjung Puting National Park would yield numerous sightings of sea eagles, hornbills and kingfishers, among others. Birds of Southeast Asia get there by boat, you sail up the Kumai River to the town of Kumai where you can hire a klotok boat to take you into the park. By air, you can fly from Jakarta Indonesia's capital to one of the main towns in Kalimantan such as Banjarmasin or Palangkaraya, then to Pangkalanbun, the airport nearest Kumai and the park. Guides can be arranged upon arrival or in advance. Bali, Indonesia, is another great Indonesian birding destination. The island of Langkawi, Malaysia is accessible either by ferry from the Malay Peninsula or by air from Bangkok or the capital of Kuala Lumpur. Birding is rewarding in Malaysia's national parks. Malaysian Borneo accessible via flights from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur is an exceptionally great birding destination, especially in the lowland areas such as Birds of Southeast Asia the Kinabatangan River Birds of Southeast Asia Sabah, and Bako NP in Sarawak. Unusual mountain species can be found in the highlands such as on the slopes of Mt Kinabalu and Mulu National Park, but birding is always more challenging in forested areas! He observed that in the eastern part of Indonesia including Papua and most of East Nusa Tenggara west through Lombokthe birds and plants more closely resemble and are related to those of Australia than those of Asia. To the west and north through all of Kalimantan Indonesian BorneoBorneo and the Malay Peninsula the birds, animals and plants are more closely related to those of Thailand and the rest of Asia. Other books are needed to cover the birds of Indonesia. Perched on the Nipa palms and mangroves bordering the meandering rivers we saw the large Stork-billed Kingfisher Halcyon capensis with its huge red bill, buff chest and blue wings and tail see below. Like other kingfishers it is able to hover above the water while it searches for fish. A frequent sight was that of the large black and chestnut Greater Coucal Centropus sinensis Birds of Southeast Asia moved from tree top to tree top with its mournful call. Sandpipers, magpies and tailorbirds were all common but we didn't get photos. All images including their larger counterparts are copyrighted material by Amanda Hacking or Sue Hacking.

Blythe's Hawk Eagle juvenile is very similar, and we have to go with the judgment of our eco-guide, Mirwan, who called this as a Wallace's. On a night boat safari on the Kinabatangan River in northern Borneo we came upon this Buffy Fish-Owl Ketupu ketupu left perched over the river. They also prey Birds of Southeast Asia small birds and mammals. Nocturnal, they roost in thick foliage and palms during the day. They nest in epiphytic plants or tree hollows. They are primarily found in lowland forests near water, including forest-rimmed rice paddies, parks and plantations. They have a variety of calls: an up-slurred scream, a long wail and a more melodic fluting sound like someone blowing over a bottle. In the lowland forests of Borneo, the Lesser Fish Eagle Ichthyophaga humilis right might be seen perched over the water where it is on the lookout for fish, it's only prey. The adult Lesser Fish Eagle has a paler, more gray chest than the juvenile we photographed here. They live in narrow, undisturbed forests that border rivers, mangroves and plantations. It is sometimes hard to get a field ID because you have to see the color of the Birds of Southeast Asia. Frigatebirds are almost prehistoric looking with their sharply angled wings and split tails. Both species are aggressive and attack smaller birds such as terns to steal their fish. When they get their own fish, they use their powerful hooked beaks to pluck the fish from the ocean. They are related Birds of Southeast Asia pelicans, boobies and cormorants. It's sometimes very hard to identify birds on the wing, unless they come very close. One day in the Strait of Malacca we were lucky to be followed by a raucous flock of Common Terns Sterna hirundo. Terns most often nest on the ground with at most a few sticks for the nest. They are related to gulls, and are found world-wide, but especially in the tropics. On mudflats and marina docks in both Peninsular Malaysia, and Borneo, the Little Heron Butorides striata left is a common sight. This solitary heron flushes easily, Birds of Southeast Asia flies low, often with an alarm squawk of kyu. Their nests in Borneo can be seen in mangrove trees: look for messy soccer-ball-sized clumps of sticks and grasses. In September, on the mudflats of Bako National Park, Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia we saw this curlew right stabbing small mollusks and crabs. Due to the poor photos mine! Both of these species breed in the far northern hemisphere and visit Borneo from the months of August or September until March or April. Despite its small size, its blue head and striking white earmark and rufous chest help it stand out from the green foliage. It is found near water: lakes, ponds, rivers and mangroves, up to about m ' elevation. Given its short tail, it was possibly injured by the local aggressive monkeys, but it was still able to fly. The Banded Kingfisher is unusual as it tends to live in the middle story of forests from which it hunts for small lizards and larger invertebrates. They have a lovely call and more often heard than seen, so we were quite lucky to find this one in the open. One of the less brightly colored kingfishers, with its characteristic blue and white, it nonetheless has the distinguishing kingfisher beak: long and hefty, capable of spearing small fish. The collared kingfisher can be found in paddyfields, plantations, and coastal woodlands up to about m ' elevation. The Stork-billed Kingfisher Pelargopsis capensis right with its massive red bill, is a common sight in Borneo. Its range is smaller than that of the collared, and includes the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines. It feeds on small fish and crustaceans. During mating season it is monogamous, and can be Birds of Southeast Asia territorial. Stunningly marked with its black body, pale belly, white and blue facial markings and unmistakable bill, the Oriental Pied Hornbill Antbracoceros albirostris is common on the islands near Langkawi, Malaysia. They are found in most of SE Asia, and perhaps south into Kalimantan where we think we saw them flying over the jungle. These birds are noisy and gregarious, bustling about the trees, rooftops and rocky shoreline in small to large flocks. Hornbills nest in large holes in trees, and once the eggs are laid the male seals the female into the hole using mud and saliva, feeding her through a small hole.
