another special tour, which has main target of this Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise.
It is a real good experience to be Halmahera, we just spend 3 nights. We easily got ours’ targets seen.
This is our main target, on 2nd morning. We hike 3.7km straight to the “hide” (on the way, we heard owlet-nightjar which is my favorite bird but we failed to see the bird and also rushing to the hide for main target.
Arrived before 6am, while every still dark. We can heard many of them already calling infront of us but just very brief view. after 30minutes, finally we got clear view of this amazing beautiful bird. But I still only got some extreme high ISO picture even with my CANON RF400mm F2.8.
Long story short, the birds stay for long and from ISO 25600 – ISO800, Managed to have perfect view of the bird and pictures… oohh video too .
Immediate of this target, we walking out and birding. There is another very good story to talk about “pick up service for the Pitta”
– 非常不一样的一次特别目标鸟团。我们其实主要3 只鸟加最好看完可以看到的猫头鹰。可是，来到这么好的鸟点。我们几乎没浪费任何时间（天气太热，我们还是有2-3小时中午到房间休息）
– 这只天堂鸟是我们主要鸟。我们到了哈马黑拉岛后第二天早山立刻步行3.7公里到鸟点。在路中听了好几次鼻鸱可是我们只是停留很短时间。所以没看到。大概1.5小时后到达鸟点，还是很暗（6am)可是这鸟已在叫不停。我们还只是看到影子而已。过了30分钟。终于看到清楚了。大家都高兴了。可是，我还是用ISO25600 (还是用CANON RF 400mm F2.8) .可是很幸运，鸟留下来到天蛮亮的。终于看到拍到。
– 回程中，我们再次去看白胸八色鸫. 当地导游竟然让我们知道人是可以与动物共处的。之前他一直讲不用担心八色鸫，他们不在的话。他会去“接“它！让我有机会下次再写写那个故事（希望有时间，完了这团后又要很忙到9月了。
2. Moluccan Scops-Owl, 摩鹿加角鸮, 摩鹿加角鴞, Otus magicus
A small owl with ear tufts, a black facial border, yellow eyes, prominent black streaking on pale underside, and intricately patterned upperparts with conspicuous white wing markings. Occurs in gray and rufous forms. Adult’s crown is streaked; juvenile’s is barred. Inhabits forest and plantations within lowlands and foothills.[Ebird]
– pretty common across the center of Halmahera, almost can heard it’s call.
– cute and not that shy owl.
– 很特别的叫声，外表也不一样。蛮好看。
– 在哈马黑拉岛的特有种。几乎很普通，那都可以听到叫声。
– 可爱，也不很害羞的鸮。
update 202304
– first night, after heavy rain and long travel. we decided not look for the owl and owlet-nightjar. Next night, we didn’t spend much time to ticked this bird and Moluccan Owlet-nightjar at the same spot.
– very cute and not really shy to human.
– 第一晚经过飞机-八色鸫-船-车-大雨的一天。我们没去找这鸮。第二晚，晚饭后不用很久我们就拿下这鸮与冠裸鼻鸱（我最喜欢鸟种之一）
– 非常可爱与其他角鸮不一样。也不害羞。也很普通。3晚都听到。
3. Ivory-breasted Pitta, 白胸八色鸫, 牙白胸八色鳥, Pitta maxima
A distinctive large, plump, short-tailed, long-legged forest bird with a black upperside and white underside, a striking red area on the lower belly, and a conspicuous silvery-blue shoulder patch. Juvenile duller, with buff on underparts. Shy, more often heard than seen. Usually found singly or in pairs in humid lowland and hill forest. Forages on the ground, but while calling often perches high in the understory or canopy. Very vocal; frequently given song is a mournful wolf whistle. [Ebird]
– 非常大的八色鸫。背部全黑。前部白+红。很特别。在这岛上，几乎那都听到这鸟的叫声。
update 202310
– arrived Halmahera, before anything go for this main target … due to long travel everyone seem tired but luckily the bird appear not that long compare to other waiting 😀 and it is huge in size, some with 800mm little bit suffer to take whole bird into frame
– 到达哈马黑拉岛，第一件事就是到这个点拿下目标鸟之一。其实有2个机会可是鸟人心情。还是越快拿下越好。可是因为长途跋涉，每个人都很累。还好比起其他八色鸫，这只让我们等了大概1++小时还好吧。喂食点，走到这也不难。
update 202309
– 2nd trip to Halmahera coming soon, can;t visit this amazing place again. Hope get some better pictures of night birds this time .. and this Pick up service Pitta sure another highlight of the tour soon
– 今年第2次到哈马黑拉岛，希望拍多点晚上的鸟。而这一只八色鸫应该是主打鸟之一吧。可是太容易了吧。可以接送的。

update 202304
– post this before I get busy months again. This is one of the most amazing experience on this trip. When day 1 arrived with heavy rain, after rain stop we did quick birding surrounding our homestay. when we walk near the river, owner say why not we go for quick try on the Pitta and keep mentioned “if the bird is nearby or little bit distance he can do pick-up service” !! (I am thinking pick-up service hmmm). But the bird came without long wait or any issue. (so we missed the pick-up service show)
– next day after Standardwing BOP, we walk back to homestay and pass by the Pitta spot. We would like to try for this pitta again for male. After long wait (~15minutes) , he say the bird is far lets’ him pick-up the pitta .. I was like hmm how ? But he walk into the bush and use whistler/call. After ~10minutes wait, we heard the bird call getting nearer and soon we saw him walking out from the bush. and you can see the Pitta is following him coming out from the bush (may be ~10-15m away) !!!!!! “pick up service”
– 觉得需要把这先写下，这是我在这11天团里觉得最不值得分享经验之一。（或在这一生中也蛮特别）。我们经过一天的飞机-车-八色鸫-船-车-大雨 的折磨。终于到了民宿。雨停后我们也不闲的去看鸟，当然我是唯一带相机的我就拍拍记录照给大家。走走的到了河边，民宿主人问我们要试试八色鸫吗？我们觉得时间不多了，怕不出来浪费时间。可是他说，不怕鸟不在。“我可以去接它过来” ！！！心想什么鬼，接！！！可是我们到后八色鸫一下就出来让我们看的兴奋了。（主要目标之一达标）
第二天一早我们先去看/拍幡羽极乐鸟。容易地拿下后。大家也想回去八色鸫的点看有运气看到巨大的公鸟吗。可是这次等了15分钟等候完全没声音，”他“就说没问题。我去接它过来！（心想又夸口）。他走了近草丛，大概10分钟后我们听到八色鸫叫了。然后他从草丛里走了出来，然后最不可思议的事。八色鸫在跟随他（大概10-15米）后跳了出来 ！！！我们都讲，这样都可以？ 我终于知道人-鸟是一起这样的。”接送服务“！

4. Common Paradise-Kingfisher, 普通仙翡翠, 普通仙翡翠, Tanysiptera galatea, ラケットカワセミ, Cekakak-pita biasa
– A long-tailed kingfisher of lowland forests. White underparts and rump, dark blue upperparts with pale blue shoulder and crown. Long white tail with 2 extended central tail feathers ending in spatula tips. Sits still for long periods whilst slowly pumping its tail. Very similar to Little Paradise-Kingfisher, but Common Paradise-Kingfisher is larger, with a paler crown, white rather than blue outer tail feathers and a heavier bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Heard more often than seen. Song, a rapidly accelerating and slightly rising series of dry notes. [Ebird]

普通仙翡翠身长22 cm，雄鸟体重58-65g，雌鸟体重55-69 g。成鸟有蓝紫前额，蓝顶蓝枕。眼先黑色，脸颊和腮部蓝紫色。两侧颈部、肩胛至脑后背部有一蓝黑色半领。小覆羽黑色，中覆羽亮天蓝色。其余的飞翼上方是蓝紫色。尾部形成一个白色环带，中央抽出两根十分细长的绶带，外缘蓝色，末端纯白色膨大成拍状。嘴红色，虹膜深褐色，腿部黄褐色。 [1]幼鸟的头部羽毛深褐色，与黄色的眼先前额接壤，其它地方是红色。眼眉又长又黑。双翼，尾巴均是深褐色。大多数覆羽的内衬明亮的红色。尾巴中央是蓝色，其下浅黄色，有小覆羽羽为黑色，喉咙和胸部边缘有纹。嘴是灰棕色。 [1]

We start our drive, walk ~430am, 15 min drive and ~20min walk … the first Bird-of-paradise is waiting for us .. before we walk into our “hide”. The bird keeps calling, trying to attract female … but seem it is not attractive enough. only one female comes close and fast.

Immature resembles female. Found in canopy of tall forests in lowlands and foothills, confined to three islands in north Moluccas. Regularly sighted at known display sites. Very loud when displaying, giving raucous “WAA-WAA…” and “KEE-KEE…” notes. [Ebird]

another special tour, which has main target of this Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise.
It is a real good experience to be Halmahera, we just spend 3 nights. We easily got ours’ targets seen.
This is our main target, on 2nd morning. We hike 3.7km straight to the “hide” (on the way, we heard owlet-nightjar which is my favorite bird but we failed to see the bird and also rushing to the hide for main target.
Arrived before 6am, while every still dark. We can heard many of them already calling infront of us but just very brief view. after 30minutes, finally we got clear view of this amazing beautiful bird. But I still only got some extreme high ISO picture even with my CANON RF400mm F2.8.
Long story short, the birds stay for long and from ISO 25600 – ISO800, Managed to have perfect view of the bird and pictures… oohh video too .
Immediate of this target, we walking out and birding. There is another very good story to talk about “pick up service for the Pitta”
– 非常不一样的一次特别目标鸟团。我们其实主要3 只鸟加最好看完可以看到的猫头鹰。可是，来到这么好的鸟点。我们几乎没浪费任何时间（天气太热，我们还是有2-3小时中午到房间休息）
– 这只天堂鸟是我们主要鸟。我们到了哈马黑拉岛后第二天早山立刻步行3.7公里到鸟点。在路中听了好几次鼻鸱可是我们只是停留很短时间。所以没看到。大概1.5小时后到达鸟点，还是很暗（6am)可是这鸟已在叫不停。我们还只是看到影子而已。过了30分钟。终于看到清楚了。大家都高兴了。可是，我还是用ISO25600 (还是用CANON RF 400mm F2.8) .可是很幸运，鸟留下来到天蛮亮的。终于看到拍到。
– 回程中，我们再次去看白胸八色鸫. 当地导游竟然让我们知道人是可以与动物共处的。之前他一直讲不用担心八色鸫，他们不在的话。他会去“接“它！让我有机会下次再写写那个故事（希望有时间，完了这团后又要很忙到9月了。

A very large barn-owl with a gray facial disk, gray crown, and rufous upperparts and wings with scattered dark markings. Prefers open country, like agricultural land, plantations, and forest edge, from lowlands to mountains. Limited to Sulawesi. Distinguished from smaller Minahassa Masked-Owl by gray face, gray forecrown, more extensive dark markings across wings and upperparts, and preference for open country.[Ebird]
与仓鸮非常像，叫声也像。在苏拉威西北部不很普通。这次在最后一晚见到斑鹰鸮后。竟然听到这鸟叫。在天空上飞。
update 202410

– a owl that we tried many times, many location.. but after few tried what a surprise to see it in one dusk but missed the picture opportunity. But went for 2nd night and got it flying on the sky .. and lucky to have CANON focus monster R3 with RF400mm F2.8 to have this ..
– 苏拉威西特有种，与普通仓鸮很像+叫声也像。都是较白色。
– 一只在苏拉威西北部找了好几次的鸮。竟然在一个找夜鸟的时候在最普通的地方见到。可是第一天见到拍不到，很快就消失。第二天再去，见到他们飞过。幸好带上佳能R3 （在这种时候对焦应该没什么问题）加上RF400mm F2.8 … 轻松拿下

Smaller and more richly rufous-colored overall than Sulawesi Masked-Owl, with a rufous facial disk and forecrown and fewer dark markings on the wings and upperparts. Also note preference for closed-forest habitat. Call is a single long piercing screech: “SHEEEEEEEER.” [Ebird]
