Birding Vietnam and Cambodia
|
Wanda and Ren Bilkey traveled to Vietnam and Cambodia in February/March 2018.
Starting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, they enjoyed searching the endemic-rich nation at several fine reserves and national parks dotting the length of the country. Then on to Cambodia to see endangered and secretive species with a little history mixed in with a visit to Angkor Wat Temple. Highlights include Black-hooded Laughingthrush, Striped Spiderhunter, Germain’s Peacock-Pheasant, and the Bar-bellied Pitta. The photo is a Striped Spiderhunter. The meeting is at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 13 at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 2822 Frankfort Ave, 38.254256, -85.689458. Bring a young birder! |
