Such a beautiful set Bob !!! I'd be floating on top of the world with captures like these :-) Was it easy birding?

[Ely Teehankee]

Great shots, crisp & clear. Well done Bob & Mabuhay.

[Bob Kaufman]

Thanks, Onnie and Ely.

Thanks, Tina! The first three shots were rather easy because they were within the grounds of the hotel we stayed in (Sepilok Jungle Resort). The last four photos however involved some walking and even getting up three stories of narrow circular stairs to get to the canopy walkway in the Rainforest Discovery Center.
