Back to Bird Island


Bird Island, locally known as Isleta Maigo Fahang ("island of sleeping birds"), is one of my favorite locations.

The island itself is off limits to humans to protect the nesting area of local birds, but the beach is private and secluded, requiring a short hike through the bush. Mina, the other field assistant, and I went for one last trip the weekend she flew out.
