I was fortunate enough to have travelled to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand in March and April. It was not a birding trip, but I did get a few. Thought I would share some of the birds that were new for me on the trip. Second the birds from Australia and New Zealand.

SueCoastalObserver wrote:Awesome shots Neal, such neat birds in Australia, even the pigeon makes ours looks plain! My favorite though, the Kookaburra, curious looking bird, looks like a Kingfisher but with a real heavy duty bill, inspired me to go look it up now. Amazing trip you are having.
The Kookaburra is in the Kingfisher family I am told. Thanks for the nice comments. Cheers.
