The photo isn't very good, though - I'm not sure it counts among birds photographed.

The last of 130 life birds on our trip to Borneo.

Glad to hear you did very good in Borneo Jeff... I was just at Rio Blanco (C Andes) with some of our local SAO members and we got both owls there last night.. remembered lots, and told them all the fantastic history, of that Rufous-banded Owl (http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=167311 & http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=315482) getting under Judy's chair in front of all us to grab a moth... only 1m away!... amazing.. saludos!!, d.

A Lanceolated Warbler turned up in Jämtland woth perfect timing, as I usually go there around this time of year anyway to trek in the mountains. Just had to make a short detour and there it was, singing away in the light northern night... wonderful experience!

Here's a video I got of the bird. A bit shaky as I just held up the camera to the scope...

Finally got my lifer Ochre-breasted Antpitta in Tapanti National Park, Costa Rica this past Sunday. Long overdue bird! While birding with a friend of mine on the Arboles Caidos trail, it got our attention with a hoarse antbird-like call, and we then spotted it just next to the trail. Perfect scope views and even got a picture of it.
