16FEB17: Thailand Day 1 - Mangrove Research Station - Part 1
First full day of birding and the itinerary that Rick put together had us starting here at the Ao Mahachai Mangrove Forest Natural Resource Study Center. We started birding by visiting a secluded watering station put out by the staff to the left and back of the center near the bathrooms. We quietly put ourselves in position and sure enough, the birds came.
We birded the road and mangrove to our east as we headed towards the impoundments and were treated to Ashy Drongo, Racket-tailed Treepie, and Collared Kingfisher. The real treat was this beautiful adult Brahminy Kite that came in and landed on top of a pole. It preened and gave us a great show before taking off and soaring above us.
We then started down the road to the impoundments where roosting shorebirds, waders, and other goodies awaited us.
