Birding Hongbenghe, Yunnan

10,000 Birds

The main attraction for birders here are the hornbills – I have written about them before , so this post will be more on the other birds I saw there in 2017.

Birds of the World: The Art of Elizabeth Gould

10,000 Birds

Thomas Mitchell had a brutal history of killing Aboriginal people, and in 2023 Birdlife International and the Royal Australasian Ornithologist’s Union officially renamed the bird.
