Birdwatching in Bhutan: Wandue Phodorang - Trongsa (April 4, 2012)

Great view of 4 Ward's Trogons, though all were female between Wandue Phodorang and Pele La.  Three Bhutan Laughingthrushes were seen along the road between Pele La and Trongsa.

Birdwatching in Dochu-La, Bhutan 1 (31 March, 2012)

Spring has come in Bhutan!  Beautiful rhododendron flowers are spread throughout the mountains while birds sing vocally.  Although I wasn't able to see Red Panda in Lumperi Park, I was still happy to see some good birds, such as Darjreeing Woodpecker, Spotted Forktail and Rufous-gorgetted Flycatcher.
