Last birding trek (and some primates).

On our last morning, we visited the same spots but saw some different birds. We also got better views of a gibbon.

We saw an orangutan along the main entrance road.

Chris spotted a rufous-backed dwarf kingfisher cross the road. Its colors may be more vivid in the shade.

The make rufous piculet was a target bird for Mike. We finally got good views.

The babblers were active.  Here’s a bold-striped tit-babbler

The first bird was outside our door a Malaysian blue flycatcher.

White-chested babbler 

Scaly-crowned babbler

Yellow-breasted flowerpecker.

Another Broadbill

Little spiderhunter 

However, the highlight was the Borean Bristlehead.  This is a rare bird that stays at the canopy. Chris can be as competitive as Monica Geller and wanted to be one of the few that saw it.  She spotted 3 birds moving about high in the tree and the guide confirmed they travel in small groups. Chris finally got a good look and saw the red head. She pointed it out to the guide who put in the spotting scope for Mike to see. They were fairly high in the trees so it’s not a great photo but it’s still a great day and the end to a great trip.
