One of the best features about Singapore is the fact that wherever you go there are birds. Admittedly we did not go into the downtown area once during our three week stay, but wherever there are trees there are birds and Singapore is a green city. Another really good feature of Singapore is the excellent public transport system.

Our first destination for observing birds in Singapore during our three week visit in March was Pasir Ris Park. It would be a great location to visit if you only had a few hours in Singapore and wanted to go beyond the airport to go bird watching. Camping is permitted in some areas, but only to residents of Singapore.

The Acorn Woodpecker (Reno, Nevada) is presumably named this way because the red spot on his head looks a tiny bit like an acorn (I know. Or maybe it is just a good name to give birds with somewhat undefined color (ashy sounds better and more scientific than boring). Still, there are a few. My jokes were better when I was younger.
