Birding in Taiwan: excitement on getting pictures of the Gray-capped Pygmy Woodpeckers in the nest. #birdingtrip2026 #birds #graycappedwoodpecker #woodpeckers #birdwatching

Cell phone video clip of a male Swinhoe’s Pheasant, one of Taiwan’s endemic birds. He came so close to me, unreal!! One of Taiwan’s rules: NO FEEDING of wildlife. #swinhoespheasant #pheasants #birds #endemicbirds #birdwatching #birdingtrip2026

Cell phone video clip of a male Banded Pitta on 3/22/2026 in the forest. Isn’t it amazing? #bandedpitta #pittas #birds #secretivebirds #birdwatching #birdingtrip2026

My day at Khok Kham Salt Pans in Thailand in search for the highly endangered species, Spoon-billed Sandpiper, main reason for my trip to Thailand. We were really lucky to have found 2, one tagged & one wasn’t. #spoonbilledsandpiper #birds #endangeredspecies #birdingtrip2026

These Siamese Firebacj, also known as Diard's Fireback, is a fairly large, approximately 80 cm long, pheasant. The males came right up to me so I was able to take cell phone video clips. #siamesefireback #diardsfireback #birds #pheasant #birdingtrip2026

Here we are at Doi Inthanon, known as "The Roof of Thailand," is the country's highest peak (2,565 meters) located in Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand. #doiinthanon #birdingtrip2026 #travelscenery #theroofofthailand

I have 2 main target birds for my 2026 birding trip to Thailand: Spoon-billed Sandpiper & the Frogmouths. Here is the Hodgson’s Frogmouth, such an amazing bird, reminds me of the Potoos I saw in South America❣️#hodgsonsfrogmouth #frogmouth #birds #birdingtrip2026 #birdwatching #wildlife
