fieldguides > We might as well start off this month's batch of recently received photos with a bang, so why not a fantastic Blood Pheasant from our Bhutan tour, photographed by guide Richard Webster at Thrumsing La at about 3500 meters elevation. Wow!Link to: BHUTAN[photo © Richard Webster]

fieldguides > One of the features of mountainous Bhutan is, of course, the backdrop of the Himalayas. Here's Jholmahari Peak, one of Bhutan's highest mountains, in an image from guide Richard Webster.Link to: BHUTAN[photo © Richard Webster]

fieldguides > Considered "Near Threatened," the lovely Ward's Trogon has a very local distribution in the eastern Himalayas. Our 2008 group enjoyed lengthy views of a handsome male, photographed by guide Richard Webster at Namling at 2200 meters elevation.Link to: BHUTAN[photo © Richard Webster]

fieldguides > The lovely Silver-eared Mesia, also photographed by guide Richard Webster on our 2008 Bhutan tour, is much more common and has a broader distribution, ranging from Bhutan across Southeast Asia to the island of Sumatra.Link to: BHUTAN[photo © Richard Webster]

fieldguides > We continue this month's selection with images from our Thailand itinerary. Guide Rose Ann Rowlett recently posted photographs from our 2008 tour as well as some from previous trips. Here we see early morning fog over the valley at Doi Ang Khang, an important birding destination located on the Thailand-Myanmar border about 150 kilometers northwest of Chiang Mai. Possibilities at Doi Ang Khang include everything from Mountain Bamboo-Partridge and Crimson-breasted Woodpecker to Crested Finchbill, Green Cochoa, Russet Bush-Warbler, White-browed Laughingthrush, Eye-browed Wren-Babbler, and Gray-headed and Spot-breasted parrotbills.Link to: THAILAND[photo © Rose Ann Rowlett]

fieldguides > Folks on the extension to our Thailand trip got great looks at the amazing Oriental Bay-Owl at Khao Nor Chuchi Reserve. Notes guide Rose Ann Rowlett, who took this photo: "What a weirdly wonderful owl! It is said to feed on small mammals, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, and large insects, particularly beetles, and it perches sideways on vertical saplings in the understory, capturing its prey in ﬂight. Its quavering, musical calls ﬁlled the forest--after the noisy cicadas piped down."Link to: THAILAND[photo © Rose Ann Rowlett]

fieldguides > Here's a sight we rarely encounter on tour (and we're sure you rarely encounter out birding!): Salt collection on the Thailand coast. If you're looking for a diverting good read (perhaps for that next plane ride to a far-flung destination?) combining fascinating history across the world with some very cool facts about a critical element of the human diet, check out Mark Kurlansky's Salt: A World History...you'll learn a lot!Link to: THAILAND[photo © Rose Ann Rowlett]
