10,000 Birds

Where America dreams of/goes birding?

10,000 Birds

Some of those “statistical errors” came as surprises to me, e.g. Cuba, Bolivia, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Thailand (this is also a clear message to their tourism boards to invest more into promoting avitourism).

With its wide paved walkways, lush flowerbeds and neatly trimmed lawns, Suan Luang Park would seem an unlikely place for a quality birding experience but appearances can be deceiving. What are their birds?
