And that doesn’t even include crossing tracks with Blue Monkey , Red-tailed Monkey , and Tree Hyrax. We are incredibly grateful to the Uganda Tourism Board for so generously sharing the splendor of birding and wildlife watching in the Pearl of Africa. Smart chimps steer clear of weird birders.

The Lodge at Pico Bonito is an inviting, idyllic place for relaxation as well as for enjoying wildlife. Cuery y Salado Preserve protects a coastal mangrove system full of wildlife from monkeys to trogons. We first visited Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge. In case you are wondering, Cristalino Lodge was his other top choice.

Remember that awful experiment where baby monkeys were deprived of all parent/sibling contact, and became fearful and phobic? If the bird is truly orphaned and needs help, the best advice is the shortest: take her to a wildlife rehabilitator. Need more information while you’re finding a licensed wildlife rehabilitator?

The lodge is unusual in having a raised walkway behind the lodge, allowing those of us keen to bird or watch wildlife when most normal people are resting in the middle of the day. Can’t do a post on Kinabatangan without the amazing Bornean endemic Probosis Monkey. I was lucky to see one Oriental Darter in Bangkok.

Nevertheless, only the most important news I did follow, those about the decision-making process on future sales of elephants and their ivory at a global wildlife summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the first such meeting since 2013. Every now and then, I need to cut the world off and clear my mind. And it gave me a hope.

In fact, it’s hard to think of a wildlife watching activity I’m more conflicted about, other than perhaps alomost industrial levels of diving in fragile reefs (or the remains thereof). On the one hand it can be an outstanding opportunity to see wildlife you usually don’t, and if done carefully it doesn’t do any harm.

Urban environments are expanding rapidly, and with urbanization come both challenges and opportunities for wildlife. Because these “extra” neurons are predominantly located in the forebrain, large parrots and corvids have the same or greater forebrain neuron counts as monkeys with much larger brains.

The reason Borneo lends itself to this type of birding holiday is that tourism in Borneo leans towards outdoorsy, wildlife based tourism anyway. Contrast this in Asia to, say, Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok, all of which have great birding nearby but are destinations people go to for reasons other than wildlife.
