Like the Adjutants in Asia and Jabiru of the Americas, the Marabou is our bare-headed scavenging stork. Only slightly shorter, but more elegantly built than the Marabou, the Saddle-billed also has a sister species in Asia, the Black-necked Stork. It is also related to Wood Stork of the Americas and Milky Stork of Asia.

After 3 months of South and Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Australia, Arjan’s count stood at 2,060 species. My Big Year is such a succession of new experiences that there is simply no time to think of other things. I’ve had so many incredible experiences.

Asia is home to all kinds of cuckoos, but none are as elaborately colorful as malkohas with those gaudy faces and painted bills. All in all, a memorable Malaysian experience. Con is a master at his craft and an uncanny resource on the birds of Singapore, Malaysia, and much of Asia. Bats under a rocky overhang.

They are also believed to be related to the Rail-Babbler of Tropical Asia. Here local people consider these birds the sacred guardians of their nesting rock formations (which are believed to house ancestral spirits), and have protected their colonies for generations. They also occur in Liberia, Ivory Coast and Guinea.
