Bird Tour Asia’s “Not-so-Diabolical” Trip to West Papua, Indonesia

Speakers: Joelle Finley and Ken Harris
Searching for Birds of Paradise (BoP) led Joelle and Ken on their latest adventure to W. Papua with a tour company that they had thought they had aged out of. Boy, were they right! Their advice is to watch UA-cam videos of Sir Richard Attenborough’s BoPs and only go to West Papua for one very remarkable thief of a Bowerbird.
Joelle and Ken met on a birding tour to Australia in 2005, a month after Hurricane Katrina and have been birding the world ever since. Both have a special spot for birding in Asia (not for the food but for the birds!)
