LABUAN BAJO, Indonesia // Our Centennial Bird was a White Bellied Sea Eagle in Flores, Indonesia. We got a big bump from a bird walking tour in Bali with an energetic woman named Su. “Left, flying left, flying left, flying left, on the tree, see the antenna, three sticks over from the white flower, now up, sit there, sit there, good bird, ohhh gone” for three hours straight. “Do you hear that? Zit, zit, zit. It's the noise the zitting cisticola makes when it flys”. Su could reproduce almost any bird song. We learned a lot from her. Sunrise and dusk are the best time for bird watching as are open fields and rice paddies. Jungles are extremely difficult for finding birds as there is so much foliage to hide them unless you can get above the tree line and watch from above. This would explain why we only saw one bird on our Cat Ba National Forest trek in the middle of the day in Vietnam. Edges of forests are great too. It's easiest to watch them fly and track them until they land so you can get a good look at them perched. Birds also like the sun so tops of trees is typically a good place to look for them. Bird watching with Su almost felt like cheating. She made it seem so easy and effortless to find over 19 birds. We hit our resolution of 100 birds in 2016 so now everything else we find is just bonus.
