Birds, Primates, and More: Day 3

Our day began before sunrise with a peaceful boat ride through the misty forest. We spotted a few beautiful birds as the forest slowly woke up. Stork-billed kingfisher, a black-and-red broadbill, a storm stork, and a soaring crested serpent eagle to name a few.  

Later, we observed the feeding of the wild orangutans. With much of their forest gone, these supplemental feedings help sustain the dense population within the park. We were thrilled to see the area’s alpha male and several tender mother-baby pairs.

By afternoon, rain blanketed the forest, dimming the sightings but not the magic. As dusk fell, fireflies flickered along the water’s edge—tiny beacons closing out another memorable day in Borneo.
