| 9/28/thru 10/6/12 Borneo - A trip of a lifetime to Sabah, Malaysia (tho we hope to go back!) was made with a special thanks to Jason and John at http://horukuru.blogspot.com who were both wonderful birders and guides. Thanks so much, guys! (They also organize the yearly Borneo Bird Festival which looked wonderful but we had to miss due to travel.) We birded some in Sepilok Reserve, on the Kinabatangan River, Mt. Kinabalu, and the coast near Kota Kinabalu. Each place was fabulous! |

Kinabalu, Borneo: Seen: A male Olive-backed Sunbird , a rare treat of three munia species taking a bath together (Dusky Munia , Scaly-breasted Munia, and Chestnut Munia (or Black-headed Munia)) , a Common Iora , a Dollarbird, a Brahminy Kite in flight, a lone Blue-naped Parrot , a White-breasted Woodswallow pair , a Wandering Whistling Duck flock , and a Wood Sandpiper hunting for food in a field by the road. |
