To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."

A hike in Penang National Park
White-bellied Sea-Eagle
Grey Wagtail
I learned only this week that there is a National Park here on Penang Island, so I decided that was the right place for me to go birding on Saturday morning. The weather was very warm and humid, and the trail was rough, but the sights and sounds made it worthwhile. I saw my first Tickell's Blue Flycatcher, and enjoyed seeing Crimson Sunbird and White-bellied Sea-Eagle again. I hope to return to this rare bit of mostly unspoiled south-Asian jungle.
