ORIOLE 2/4 - Black & Crimson Oriole

Black & Crimson Oriole

 
Now It was just sheer luck and the rain sort of slow down activities in Fraser most of the 2 days in Fraser. The figs and other berries trees are beariing fruits but not ripe wrong timing. The bird race on 23-24 June will be just perfect timing to see wave and wave of birds. Good luck you guys

Was attracted by this unusual chirping and mimic it and it flew and perch overhead about 30 ft high

Chance on this female at Ole pumphouse trail ( the trogon valley 2nd last turning before the cablecar. Looks a bit lost in a bird wave of fulvettas and leafbirds and scimitars. The red headed trogon was calling that weekend but did not come out into the open.

The last I saw the male Black and Crimson Oriole was way back in time in Fraser Hill. This is my second time and a female is my first sighting. It is not a common bird to see as it moves around much . It preferred submontane moist forest of Malaysia and Indonesia.
