Here are some photos of birds that I took while doing birding walk in Subdistrict Sonder of Minahasa regency.

| Barred Rail in Subdistrict Sonder of Minahasa regency |
The first picture is Barred Rail. This is a ground walking bird. When I took picture of this bird, it was walking on the branches of a small tree at a roadside. It was an unusual scene for the Barred Rail.

| Sulawesi Hanging Parrot |
The second picture is Sulawesi Hanging-parrot (Loriculus stigmatus). The bird was perhaps feeding on lichens of a tree in Subdistrict Sonder of Minahasa regency. I was standing on the frontyard of a villager's house that is on a hill. This allowed me to take some pictures of the bird on trees that stood at the frontyard of the house.

| White-browed Crake |
White-browed Crake is a very shy bird. I frequently see them walking through paddy fields in search of food. Yesterday, I tried to walk closer to take pictures of them. Unfortunately, they moved into denser rice plants.
 |
| Scaly-breasted Munia |
These three small birds that were sitting on a twig of a tree were Scaly-breasted Munia. They were considered as pests by farmers who cultivate rice in paddy fields.
There are more birds that we can watch in Minahasa highland. I will continue to update this blog with more articles of birding in this region.

| Finch-billed Myna |
