I will be in N Sulawesi for two weeks in Nov 2010 on a scuba diving vacation. I will be flying into Manado and spending one week at Tasik Ria near Manado and one week at Kungkungan Bay Resort on the Lembeh Strait. I'd really like to spend one or two of my days birding while there and am guessing that they'd best be spent at Tangkoko Nature Reserve. One of the resorts offers a day trip there, but I much rather hire a local guide and concentrate on birding as opposed to the more general nature of the resort trip. Can anyone recommend someone in that area who might be available for such a short time?
Also, I found copies of Birds of Sulawesi by Holmes and A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Indonesia by Strange. Other than A Guide to the Birds of Walacea, what other guide books or resources are available?
Thanks,
Jackie
