Hi,

Would appreciate any recommendation on birding guides in Sulawesi and Halmahera?

My key targets are the 2 pittas (Ivory-breasted and Red-Bellied) , 2 Birds-of-paradise, Maleo, Moluccan Scrubfowl and the nightbirds. Hope to find a guide that knows where to find these birds.

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers,
Js

Hi ljs

The easiest place to look for Maleo is probably at Tambun. The person to contact there is Max, email: maxwellylela[AT]yahoo.com.

Max is a park official who can arrange permits, transport and accommodation at his home as well as guide you.

Hope this helps.
