Bravo to Malaysia Nature Society (MNS)

I am amazed!! I wanted to write this for quite some time but couldn't find the time to do so..

BRAVO to Malaysia Nature Society!!
My earlier post on the bird... I was looking high and low to find out what bird that was standing in front of my bedroom window for more than half an hour! through the Internet..Books..

I came across the MNS website and immediately tried my luck by writing to them with the photos attached in the midnite.. To my surprise and excitement, they replied early in the morning the next day with the answer!

It is crested goshawk.. a common raptor found in Malaysia.!! but to me..it is certainly not common, especially having so near and clear view with some interaction with the raptor rite in front of my bedroom. :)

It is special indeed... u know why ?

1. I have never seen any birds in front of my window at those trees throughout my years of stay
2. Lil Jo have been shouting 'bird bird' when I did not believe her and brought her out to play in the living room for almost half an hour
3. Lil Jo shouted bird bird and view the window when she is back in the room
4. I finally believe her when I see for myself the bird is bearly 3 feet away
5. Lil Jo and I was making so much noise and the bird just look at us from time to time
6. It was not until few minutes later I remembered my camera and took pictures of the raptor from different angle..and even flash!
7. It just continue to stand there...with occasionally turning the face to look at us ..for almost 10 minutes
8. It was my father-in-law birthday. He passed away one month before Lil Jo was born..

I believe....
