Project progress - Bird Families of the World 249/250
99.6%

More then 100 endemic bird species can be seen in this unique shaped island but I had only one main target on my short Sulawesi visit. Luckily we’ve got Hylocitrea, the only endemic bird family here, on our first stop as we entered Lore Lindu national park, and I even got some lousy record photo. Good start which gave wrong impression of how  difficult it’s gone be. On the following days, we heard  Hylocitreas a few times, even got a quick view once or twice, but not a real photographing opportunity. Only on our last day, packed and ready to  go to Palu airport, we had a short stop at Danau Tambing, just to wrap up some administrative issues. I slipped for a quicky near the bridge and finally got the chance to take a proper shot. Even the Geomalia showed up for quick farewell. 249 down, 1 to go!
