Two Thai Pheasants

During my visit to Thailand in early 2010 I had the pleasure of meeting three species of pheasants. Two of them vere reasonably cooperative.
The Siamese Fireback initially were hard to find. However when they came out, they were not at all shy. In Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve they even preformed drumwhirls with their wings about one meter in fron of us, as if they were trying to tell us to leave.

The Silver Pheasant I met in Khao Yai NP. This bird however not quite as cooperative in the semi-dense undergrowth.
Photos on this gallery are taken by Stefan Lithner, however with appreciated support by Ms Jen (Pitchaya Janhom), Thailand.
