Monday I signed a two year contract to teach in Thailand, flying out on Sun., so am unsubscribing from this list serve. Loved reading about all your sightings! I post pics on Twitter.com through Twitpic.com where my username is "rachelbirder" for both websites. http://twitter.com/rachelbirder http://twitpic.com/photos/rachelbirder My Picasa Web Album link is http://picasaweb.google.com/home The school is right on the corner of a famous birding preserve one of my Morehead State University ESL students once told me about, and the school director says that in the evenings while you're at the outdoor cafes eating your full $2 Thai meal, people go past walking their elephants and the elephants often put their trunks on your table to be petted! The director is a birder also and said the nature preserve has Hornbills and so many other exotic birds, plus there is a great campground.
