  • Species List
    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.

  • Birding in Taman Negara, Peninsular Malaysia
    Birding in Taman Negara, Peninsular Malaysia 2019.8.21 – 2019.8.28 Participants: Li-Chung Lu* & Tzung-Su Ding e-mail: [email protected] Figure 1 Crested Fireback (Lophura ignita) Introduction This trip was happened all of a sudden that we didn’t fully review enough birding information. The main reason I wrote this report is due to lack of birding information of Taman Negara after we arrive and found the map was quite incorrect. The forest loop near park center is not exist at all (please contact me if I’m wrong) but still have a eBird hotspot called forest loop with plenty of records, the length of most trails and loops also felt incorrect, and the shape and entrances of swamp loop was not correctly drawn on the map, either. Taking a bus from Kuala Lumpur (KL) is strongly recommended rather than renting a car because most of hotspots are inside the national park which could only enter through boats crossing Tembeling River every day, and the transportation to other hotspots (e.g. Fraser’s Hill) were also easily available. This place was pretty safe and convenient, and internet signal was also strong (both 4G and wifi in living area). All you can to do here is eat, sleep, and enjoy bird watching. Location: Taman Negara, Kuala Tahan, Tembeling, Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia Weather: Hot and no wind in daytime (about 30 – 32˚ C), cool at night (about 25 ˚ C) Traffic to Kuala Tahan: By bus We booked on the website of HAN travel, which provides transportation services by bus from KL to Kuala Tahan, a small village on the other river side of Taman Negara.

  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

  • The Effects of Heat Stress, Predation Risk and Parental Investment on Malaysian Plover Nest Return Times Following a Human Disturbance
    BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION 132 (2006) 472– 480 available at www.sciencedirect.com journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon The effects of heat stress, predation risk and parental investment on Malaysian plover nest return times following a human disturbance Mai Yasue´*, Philip Dearden Marine Protected Areas Research Group, Department of Geography, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 3050, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3P5 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Waders leave nests and conduct distractive displays when approached by people. The time Received 6 December 2005 taken for waders to return to nests depends on numerous factors that affect the costs and Received in revised form benefits of incubation and anti-predator behavior. Understanding this trade-off may help 24 April 2006 assess the reproductive consequences of different nest return times and identify variables Accepted 30 April 2006 to consider in breeding disturbance studies. We subjected 73 Malaysian plover (Charadrius Available online 21 June 2006 peronii) nests to standardized human disturbances and an analysis of covariance was used to determine how weather, time of day, embryonic age, weeks into breeding season and Keywords: nest attendance (proportion of time adults incubated nests) influence nest return times. Human disturbance Egg temperatures were estimated using a regression model that predicted the temperature 2 Predation inside unshaded eggs from air temperature, cloud cover and time of day (r = 0.88). We Shorebird assessed the relationship between nest return times and hatch success. Plovers returned Wader to nests faster at higher modeled egg temperature (P = 0.010), in the morning (P = 0.003), Malaysian plover if they had younger clutches (P = 0.038), and if they had high nest attendance prior to the Tropical disturbance (P = 0.015).

  • Borneo July 11–29, 2019
    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.
