I don’t know about you but I wish I could fly away today.
After yesterday’s introduction to Yala National Park in Sri Lanka, let’s take a look at the diverse bird life and contemplate why the junglefowl crossed the road.
Until tomorrow,

There are blue whales around Sri Lanka as well. It was one of the highlights we really wanted to see but didn’t have enough time to arrange a tour unfortunately. Not sure what time of year is best but hope to see them if/when we go back.

Oh, I feel your pain. If there’s possibly a silver lining it’s maybe that places will overall be less touristed when travel resumes, and more enjoyable as a result. Stay healthy so you can get back out there again!! Happy weekend. 🙂

I don’t think I have ever seen a bird with a stranger bill than the hornbill, Kelly. And the kingfisher, so different fro ours. Do they make a similar call. –Curt

Yes! Aren’t the hornbills super cool? Good question — I don’t know the answer about the kingfisher. There a few different types of them in Sri Lanka. All I know is the colors were beautiful!

Unlike the iridescent blue (and white) of those found along streams in California. Also good looking. I asked about the call, Kelly, because it is so darn unique. –Curt

I have to look into that call so I can recognize it. Thanks Curt!
