    Dec. 11, 2013 – Jan. 01, 2014 Thailand (Central and Northern) Species Trip List Compiled by Carlos Sanchez (HO)= Distinctive enough to be counted as heard only Summary: After having traveled through much of the tropical Americas, I really wanted to begin exploring a new region of the world. Thailand instantly came to mind as a great entry point into the vast and diverse continent of Asia, home to some of the world’s most spectacular birds from giant hornbills to ornate pheasants to garrulous laughingthrushes and dazzling pittas. I took a little over three weeks to explore the central and northern parts of this spectacular country: the tropical rainforests of Kaeng Krachen, the saltpans of Pak Thale and the montane Himalayan foothill forests near Chiang Mai. I left absolutely dazzled by what I saw. Few words can describe the joy of having your first Great Hornbill, the size of a swan, plane overhead; the thousands of shorebirds in the saltpans of Pak Thale, where I saw critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper; the tear-jerking surprise of having an Eared Pitta come to bathe at a forest pool in the late afternoon, surrounded by tail- quivering Siberian Blue Robins; or the fun of spending my birthday at Doi Lang, seeing Ultramarine Flycatcher, Spot-breasted Parrotbill, Fire-tailed Sunbird and more among a 100 or so species. Overall, I recorded over 430 species over the course of three weeks which is conservative relative to what is possible. Thailand was more than a birding experience for me. It was the Buddhist gong that would resonate through the villages in the early morning, the fresh and delightful cuisine produced out of a simple wok, the farmers faithfully tending to their rice paddies and the amusing frost chasers at the top of Doi Inthanon at dawn.

    BORNEO JULY 11–29, 2019 Extreme close views on our tour of this fantastic Black-and-yellow Broadbill (Photo M. Valkenburg) LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM BY MACHIEL VALKENBURG Borneo, Borneo, magical Borneo! This was my fourth trip to Sabah and, as always, it was a pleasure to bird the third largest island of the world. As in many rainforests, the birding can be tricky, and sometimes it means standing and looking at bushes within distance of a faint call from the desired jewel. Sometimes it took quite some patience to find the birds, but we did very well and were lucky with many good views of the more difficult birds of the island. Our group flew in to Kota Kinabalu, where our journey began. During the first part of the tour we focused on the endemic-rich Kinabalu mountain, which we birded from the conveniently located Hill Lodge right at the park entrance. After birding the cool mountains, we headed with pleasure for the tropical Sabah lowlands, with Sepilok as our first stop followed by the Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley Rainforest. The Kinabatangan River is a peat swamp forest holding some very special fauna and flora. Tall dipterocarps dominate the forests of Sepilok and Danum; we did very well in finding the best birds on offer in all places visited. We had 30-minute walkaway views of the superb Whitehead’s Broadbill (photo M.Valkenburg) In the Kinabalu park we walked some trails, but mostly we birded and walked easily along the main road through this gorgeous forest filled with epiphytes and giant tree-ferns.

  • Sri Lanka Ceylon Sojourn
    Sri Lanka Ceylon Sojourn A Tropical Birding Set Departure January 20 – February 2, 2019 Guides: Ken Behrens & Saman Kumara Report and photos by Ken Behrens TOUR SUMMARY The Indian Subcontinent is rich, both in human culture and history and in biological treasures. Sri Lanka is a large island at the southern tip of this region, lying a short distance from the Indian mainland. It contains a rich selection of the birds, mammals, and other wildlife of the subcontinent, which thrive in a selection of delightful protected areas; enough to thoroughly recommend it as a destination for a travelling birder. But even more alluringly, Sri Lanka is home to dozens of endemic birds – 33 given current Clements taxonomy, though this number is sure to continue to climb as distinctive subspecies are split as full species. Sri Lanka has decent infrastructure, excellent food, good lodges, and wonderfully kind and hospitable people. This short and sweet tour is equally attractive to those eager for their first taste of the Indian subcontinent, or to those who have travelled it extensively, and want to see the island’s endemic birds. As on all of our tours in recent years, we “cleaned up” on the endemics, enjoying great views of all 33 of them. This set of endemics includes a bunch of delightful birds, such as Sri Lanka Junglefowl, Sri Lanka Spurfowl, Serendib Scops-Owl, Chestnut-backed Owlet, Sri Lanka Hanging-Parrot, Red-faced Malkoha, Crimson-backed Woodpecker, Green-billed Coucal, Sri Sri Lanka: Ceylon Sojourn January 20-February 2, 2019 Lanka Blue Magpie, Sri Lanka (Scaly) and Spot-winged Thrushes, Yellow-eared Bulbul, and White-throated (Legge’s) Flowerpecker.

    Field Guides Tour Report Cambodia: Angkor Temples & Vanishing Birds 2020 Feb 12, 2020 to Feb 27, 2020 Doug Gochfeld & local guide Chea Seab For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The legendary edifice of Angkor Wat. Its scale and the attention to detail that went into it make it are unparalleled in the history of human construction and craftsmanship. Photo by guide Doug Gochfeld. We met in the ancient city of Siem Reap eager to explore the country at the heart of Southeast Asia. We started off adjacent to the legendary Angkor temple complex. Tonlé Sap, the region’s largest and most ecologically important lake, lay to our south, and a vast dry forest unfurled to our east, awaiting the company of our binoculars. From our comfortable base of 6 nights in Siem Reap we struck out for day trips to the ancient and unparalleled Angkor Wat, Ang Trapeang Thma Reservoir (the massive irrigation project built by the Khmer Rouge, known in short as ATT), and the aforementioned Tonlé Sap and its fantastic Prek Toal Biosphere reserve. We then traveled east, through the Prolay Grasslands and into the dry dipterocarp forest that covers much of the country’s north. We had plenty of time in this extremely birdy dry forest, with three nights at Tmatboey and a night at the special vulture restaurant at Baeng Toal. After our wonderful time in the dry country, the Mekong River and borderlands to the East had a lot to live up to, and they did that and then some, starting with our birding in the Kratie area and the associated boat trip on the Mekong River.
