BIRDS IN MINAHASA

I like to travel around the Minahasa region. I visit Tomohon, Tondano, Sonder, Kawangkoan, and Langowan to explore their surrounding rainforests. I plan to bring birdwatchers to the region. During my birding trips in Minahasa, I see several species of birds such as Sulawesi Drongo, Scaly-breasted Kingfisher, Collared Kingfisher, Crimson Sunbird, Olive-backed Sunbird, Black Sunbird, Grey-sided Flowerpecker, Yellow-sided Flowerpecker, Sooty-headed Bulbul, Slender-billed Crow, Chestnut Munia, Scaly-breasted Munia, Black-faced Munia, Grey-cheeked Green Pigeon, Sulawesi Scops Owl, Little Egret, Cattle Egret, Sulawesi Hanging Parrot, Sulawesi Pygmy Woodpecker, White-faced Cuckoo Dove, Sultan's Cuckoo Dove, and a lot more.

Birds in Minahasa Regency

To watch birds, I bring my SVBONY 10×50 binoculars and to take pictures, I bring my old Fujifilm HS50EXR which I bought from an online electronic store in Indonesia.

I often the opportunity to speak with local farmers who make palm sugar, plant vegetables, and with ones who own fish, and pig farms. 

Minahasa highland is an interesting destination for visitors who want to see agricultural areas, historical and cultural attractions of local people.

For birding tour that I offer in North Sulawesi, I can include some additional trips to the volcanic crater of Mount Mahawu or to Lake Tondano. I can organize scenic and cultural trips to places where local farmers in North Sulawesi traditionally make palm sugar, farm tools, and earthenware.

Visitors who are interested in taking the tour could come as a solo traveler or as a group of 2, 4 and up to 8 participants to share the cost of traveling. For further info about the trip, please, contact me (Charles Roring) by email to: peace4wp@gmail.com or by whatsapp to: +6281332245180.
