Another wonderful day in the field! It was raining on the way to the Standardwing display site, but the rain stopped just as we arrived. Right after watching the incredible display of the Standardwing, this little bird popped its head out to look at us—so adorable!
又是美好的一天!前往幡羽极乐鸟展示地点的路上下着雨,但我们一到雨就停了。就在我们欣赏完幡羽极乐鸟表演后,这只小鸟突然探出头来看着我们,太可爱了!

– a very short special target tour to Halmahera, Indonesia. One of the night just trying better photo for this my favourite bird.
– 2nd night, spent not that long, spotted 3 birds and this stay long and quite reasonable distance.
– 到哈马黑拉岛找几只特别目标鸟。在一个晚上,去找找这只我最喜欢鸟类之一。
– 在1小时内,见到3只。还是蛮容易的。

This is another one of my favorite bird families—always a top priority whenever I visit sites where it’s possible to see them. During our 4-day stay at Mount Arfak, we saw four individuals: three Mountain and one Feline Owlet-nightjar. This one was especially memorable—so beautiful and just about 5–8 feet away, staring right at us!
这是我最喜欢的鸟类之一,每次去有机会看到它的地方,它都是我优先想找的目标。我们在阿尔法克山待了四天,看到了四只:三只灰裸鼻鸱,一只大裸鼻鸱。特别是这只,非常漂亮,就在我们面前大约五到八英尺远看着我们,太惊喜了!
