Sea to Summit: The Marvelous Hummingbird
May 28th 7PM PST ⬇️

This stunning island endemic is the Bornean Green

This stunning island endemic is the Bornean Green Magpie (Cissa jefferyi) and was seen right before the Grey-chinned Minivet two posts back. ✨🌿⛰
↟
When we saw this bird, I was stunned, it was so close and along the edge of the dense forest, I thought it was placed there! 😅
↟
I asked our guide if they always get such good looks, and he said that they often see the bird, but don’t commonly get to view it so well.
↟
If you look closely you can also see that the magpie has colorful little bands on its leg. These are called color bands, and are used to study resident bird populations. .
↟
Ornithologists will create unique color combinations using the bands to identify individual birds and study them more closely. The bands don’t hurt the birds, but they do add a little more color! 🤍💚

This Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) was tail bob

This Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) was tail bobbing for insects in a gravel driveway in Mt. Kinabalu Park. ⛰
↟
However, Borneo is certainly not the singular location to observe this bird. .
↟
The Grey Wagtail is widespread breeder, and has a tremendous range throughout the globe with various races breeding and wintering in certain regions. 🌏🌍
↟
This race, breeds from Asia to Siberia extending to Japan and Korea and spend their winter in South East Asia. 👍
↟
However, they have been seen in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and even more rarely as vagrants in California! 😮
↟
Google these birds to see what I’m talking about!

Arriving early in the morning at the Mt. Kinabalu

Arriving early in the morning at the Mt. Kinabalu Headquarters, we were greeted by beautiful lush forests, much cooler temperatures, and tons of plant species. 🌿
↟
The park is named for the ~13,000 foot mountain and it’s surroundings which are some of the most important biological areas in the world. ⛰
↟
The biodiversity here is off the charts! This unique site has between 5,000 and 6,000 species of plants, including 600 species of ferns, 100 different mammals, and roughly 325 bird species! 🐾🌱🕊
↟
One of those birds is the colorful Gray-chinned Minivet (Pericrocotus solaris).
↟
Found from the Himalayas to China, Taiwan and South East Asia, these mid sized passerines are round in montane forests, from the canopy to forest edges and gardens with trees.
↟
This handsome fella was spotted feasting on the months attracted by evening building lights at the ranger station.🦋

Eager to rack up some bird species during my first

Eager to rack up some bird species during my first morning in Borneo, I took the equivalent of a Bornean Lyft, and drove outside of Kota Kinabalu to an eBird hotspot called Penampang Rice Fields.
↟
Arriving here before sunrise, the world of birds burst into life moments before the sun peaked East over the hills. ✨
↟
One of the common and widespread residents here is the Dusky Munia, my first Bornean endemic of the trip! 🙌
↟
Common in rice fields and open grasslands, I observed at least 100 individuals flitting around the grass stalks. 🌾
↟
Although relatively flighty little birds, I was lucky to snag this frame as it was making its way up the grass stalk to feed on the seeds. •_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•

After about 24 hours of international travel, my trip companion and long time friend Aaron and I went to explore the local bird life in the city of Kota Kinabalu. .
↟
By mid morning it was already hot, busy and full of life. We walked down to the edge of the water and began looking for aquatic birds like terns, herons, and gulls.
↟
As we scanned the skies I noticed this Eastern Great Egret (Ardea alba modesta) flying in front of the clouds and thought it seemed almost magical.✨
↟
This was one of the first frames I put together during our two week stay. 📷
↟
More to come!

Today we’re kicking off a series of posts all dedicated to the island of Borneo! ↟
After guiding all last summer in Alaska, I took my earnings and headed out for what would become the most insane wildlife and nature exploration I have been on to date.
↟
This composite image was from inside the dense, lush rainforest habitat on Mt. Kinabalu, 3 hours outside the capital city of Kota Kinabalu. ↟
I chose this image to kick things off because it’s moody, dramatic, and an example of how difficult the lighting can be for shooting in dense forests.
↟
This series won’t just be birds, so stay tuned for all that’s coming!

From a bird’s eye view, many might see the desert as dry, lifeless, and barren. However, as you slow down, and steep in the land, the vast diversity of this ecosystem, becomes apparent. ✨

Here’s another look at early breeding season behavior for our local swallows.
↟
After they arrive from their migration, the swallows like these Barn and Cliff, waste no time.
↟
They stuff their beaks full of mud collected on lakes, ponds, creeks or steams and begin nest construction immediately.
↟
They assemble the nest using up to 1000 mud pellets that they collect and form in their mouths. These pellets form against one another creating a perfectly glued mud dome.
↟
Swallows nest communally under bridges, building overhangs and concrete dams, and almost always close to water. ↟
What swallow activity have you observed by you? •_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•
