Last week I introduced the Great Frigatebird , one of five species of man-o-war bird. Here I’ll finish off what I started, looking at the lives of these amazing birds, using the pictures I took working on Tern Island in French Frigate Shoals, Hawaii. They are capable of covering great distances, perhaps like an albatross.

So, this is no ordinary bird guide.

Tan Phu Forest is about 2 hours North of Ho Chi Minh City, and the location of a few bird blinds set up by a Vietnamese who used to be a park ranger at Cat Tien National Park and probably learned about the economic potential of attracting foreign birders. My way of squeezing more blog posts out of my birding trips.
